165: Maternal celiac disease and long-term gastrointestinal morbidity of the offspring

The development and availability of diagnosis made the prevalence of celiac disease to increase over the past 20 years. Celiac disease has been associated with adverse short-term perinatal outcomes such as low birth- weight and preterm delivery. The aim of the present study was to determine whether being born to a mother with celiac disease increases the risk for long-term gastrointestinal morbidity of the offspring.
