Enzyme Therapy for Coeliac Disease: Is it Ready for Prime Time?

چکیده
In people of European descent about one in 100 people suffer from CD, but the disease is considerably under-diagnosed. This is partly because, over the last two decades, the symptoms have changed and become more covert (van Heel & West, 2006). Hence, it is vital that the correct diagnosis be made, taking advantage of serology and endoscopic biopsy, and if positive, a gluten free diet commenced. In addition, we recommend that enzyme supplementation be utilized in order to hasten repair to tissue and help to begin a greatly improved lifestyle (Cornell & Stelmasiak, 2007).
