Novel Therapeutic/Integrative Approaches for Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis

Novel Therapeutic/Integrative Approaches for Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Gluten is a protein component in wheat and other cereals like rye and barley. At present, the only available treatment is a strict gluten-free diet. Recent advances have...
