Characteristics of Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Coexisting Celiac Disease Seropositivity
Conclusions:
Diagnosing CeD in children with IBD continues to be challenging. Although high titers of tTG IgA and VA increased provider confidence for diagnosing CeD in IBD, development of evidence-based guidelines are needed. They should better assess the importance of features atypical of concomitant CeD that contribute to uncertainty.
