4) What conditions can mimic coeliac disease histologically?
5) How is the diagnosis made?
6) Treatment of coeliac disease involves avoidance of gluten. Which foods should be avoided?
7) How should we follow-up patients after making the diagnosis?
8) What to do with patients with persistent symptoms despite GFD
9) The guideline contains far more useful pearls, including the management of extraintestinal complications. Please do check it out!
