PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Celiac Disease (CD) is probably the most common genetically predisposed condition known to affect mankind. Epidemiological data from the USA indicate there could be as many as 3 million people with CD in this country.

Several clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of CD are currently available to the practicing clinician. In general there is consensus among these various guidelines on which serological tests should be used for screening purposes with some difference of opinion on who should be tested.

There is a growing fad to eliminate gluten from one’s diet along with a growing market offering gluten-free products. The massive growing consumer trend focuses on gluten sensitivity that needs to be addressed by the medical community prior to educating the public. As consumers visit their doctors to discuss their sensitivity to gluten with many not presenting with symptoms, medical professionals need to be prepared and knowledgeable about who and how to diagnose and manage these patients.

There is a clear need for educating health care professionals on the prevalence of Celiac Disease (CD) and the highly variable clinical manifestations of CD and other forms of gluten related disorders, including non-celiac gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy.

There is a clear need for educating the public about CD, its symptoms, genetic predisposition, long term health consequences, and how to distingush it from other forms of gluten related disorders.

This webinar will help learners implement optimal strategies into their clinical practice related to the symptoms and differentiation between the three forms of gluten related disorders, diagnosis, and how the gluten free diet may differ among the three forms of gluten related disorders.

 

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for pediatric and adult gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, trainees, dieticians, and other health care professionals who are involved in the care of patients with gluten related disorders.


OBJECTIVES
Identify clinical, epidemiological, and diagnostic characteristics of celiac disease, wheat allergy, and gluten sensitivity.

Choose the most cost effective means of testing for gluten related disorders.

List similarities and differences in implementing a gluten free diet for the three different forms of gluten-related disorders.
