Coeliac disease
I've not had anything to do with this article - just had reason to read it and thought it was very informative. A doctor or two has read it and approved the content (see talk page). Pcb21| Pete 17:36, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Templates and categorization appears to be fully in order. I think it's an FA in the making. - Mgm|(talk) 19:29, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object 1) Are the references under the =external links=? 2) Picture? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:00, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. It is chaotic and lacks crucial information (e.g. rate of occurrence). It is thin on references. I added the discovery of anti-tTG2 and its cross-reactivity with gluten, but there are many more crucial papers that could be cited, such as the review in The Lancet 2 years ago. A picture will be hard - unless someone can arrange a microscopy photo of villous atrophy. JFW | T@lk  19:09, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Perhaps a picture of related nutrients would be appropriate?
 * 1) Lead needs to be tightened.
 * 2) Please seperate the external links and the references.
 * 3) It needs a copyedit for overly academic terms. Some are bound to be neccesary, but I think some of them cane be pruned or replaced.

Is there anyone else that has doubts about this disease? It just seems to me that mankind evolved with wheat. Any links to medical journals or discussions?
 * Doubts about the disease? there are chapters and entire books about it!  S Holland, M.D. Kd4ttc 21:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Object The article is not correct on a number of details regarding celiac disease. It is an admirable effort by what appears to be motivated and well read non-physicians about the disease, and is very good in the big picture.  A lot of details, however, are incorrect.  Also, the thinking on pathophysiology needs to reworked.  The sections on treatment are missing a number of comments about dieticians and resources.  Well, I said a while ago I was going to work on this.  That will happen over the next few months. Kd4ttc 21:48, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
