This video produced within the project "Interreg Central Europe Focus in CD" aims to provide interactive tools to facilitate the knowledge of celiac disease among health personnel, affected individuals and their families in order to close the knowledge gap.
Celiac Disease is a model of a lifelong disease caused by ingestion of cereals. It affects 1-3% of population (up to 5 million in CE) of all ages. It is estimated that 80% of people having CD are un/misdiagnosed. Diagnostic delay remains 6-10 years. Undiagnosed/untreated CD leads to a number of severe (potentially preventable) complications: infertility, osteoporosis, neurological disorders, malignancies, etc, which have profound effect on quality of life.
