Controversies in Celiac Disease

There is so much information floating around the world wide web about celiac disease and so much of it is conflicting. We're talking about things like “does my child need a biopsy if they have a positive blood test for celiac disease. It seems like such an invasive procedure that they don’t really need.” Or, “what does genetic testing actually mean?” And, should doctors across medical disciplines be routinely screening for celiac disease even if their patients don’t have obvious symptoms. 

To discuss these controversies, we've got two of the top celiac disease physicians in the world in the studio -  Dr. Ivor Hill is the Director of the Celiac Disease Center and Section Chief of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. And, Dr. Benny Kerzner is the medical director of our Celiac Disease Program here at Children’s National!
