Celiac disease is considerably under-diagnosed, according to an independent consensus panel convened last month by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Celiac disease may affect 3 million Americans. The disease is present in 0.5 to 1% of the U.S. population, ten times higher than previous estimates.
