Abstract

Celiac disease is a common disorder that was first identified in the early 1900s. Multiple diets were used to treat celiac disease until 1953, when Dicke, Weijers, and van de Kamer identified gluten as the cause of the symptoms. Today, gluten avoidance continues to be the only treatment for patients with celiac disease.
