Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects approximately 1% of the worldwide community. Originally thought to be confined mostly to the small intestine, resulting in villous atrophy and nutrient malabsorption, it has more recently been implicated in systemic manifestations as well, particularly when undiagnosed or left untreated. Herein, the physical and psychological symptoms of celiac disease are described and explored. An emphasis is placed on efforts to query prospective and confirmed celiac disease patients via the use of surveys. Suggestions are made regarding the development of efficacious surveys for the purpose of screening for celiac disease in undiagnosed persons, and monitoring efficacy of the gluten-free diet in persons diagnosed with celiac disease. There are broad categories of physical and psychological symptoms associated with celiac disease. There is also an essential interaction between such physical and the psychological symptoms. It is important to capture the association between symptoms, via queries directed toward suspected and confirmed persons with celiac disease. The use of anonymous online surveys can be helpful to determine the qualities and characteristics which may be associated with this condition. It is suggested that personal surveys should be given a greater role in screening and to lessen the time for diagnosis. Querying the subject directly via a survey can provide clues as to the types of symptoms being experienced by those with celiac disease currently, as well as to determine the salient aspects of the symptomatology, which will be useful for rapid screening and monitoring in future work.
