Celiac Disease Center

A Celiac Disease Center is a medical facility specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where consuming gluten—found in wheat, barley, and rye—causes damage to the small intestine. These centers offer expert care through specialized testing, dietary counseling, and ongoing support to help patients maintain a gluten-free lifestyle. They often participate in research to better understand the condition and develop new treatments, and work closely with patients to prevent complications like nutrient deficiencies or other autoimmune issues.
