[Prevalence of undiagnosed celiac disease in patients with irritated bowel syndrome].

In the article insufficiency of existing patterns of investigation of patients with irritated bowel syndrome (IBS) during differential diagnostics with celiac disease is underlined, that leads to wrong diagnostics and inefficient treatment of patients. Also own data on prevalence of celiac disease in patients with IBS are shown. Determination of the level of specific markers of celiac disease (in our research--antigliadin Ig) is considered to be the optimal method of diagnostic celiac disease in this group of patients.
