Celiac disease – Our doctor’s opinion
As part of its quality approach, Passeportsanté.net invites you to discover the opinion of a health professional. Dr Dominic Larose, emergency physician, gives you his opinion on celiac disease:
The current problem with celiac disease is the confusion that exists between this disease and gluten sensitivity. It is important to avoid following a strict gluten-free diet without having had an appropriate diagnostic workup. Once the diagnosis is firmly confirmed or ruled out, you may or may not follow a gluten-free diet if you believe you have a gluten sensitivity, and check whether the symptoms are improving. I believe that eventually research will be able to shed better light in the event of sensitivity.
