The disease effects about 1% of the world population.2 Despite being a disease of young, it may be subtle and may manifest in late decades of life. It has been reported even in a 85-year woman in literature.3 The spectrum of symptoms of celiac disease is very wide and includes, abdominal pain, bloating, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, symptoms of anemia (both iron deficiency and/or vitamin B12 deficiency), widespread skeletal pain (mainly due to vitamin D deficiency) and neuropathy (caused by vitamin B12 or thiamine deficiency). Other autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroid diseases may accompany celiac disease.4 The patient reported by Majid et al. had chronic diarrhea and weight loss along with iron deficiency anemia. Since the authors have stated that other laboratory tests were normal, we assume that vitamin B12, vitamin D, serum calcium and other electrolyte levels were also in normal range.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCeliac DiseaseLetter291212341234318391062-s2.0-85076565742Q3WOS:000502553300026Q4
