Celiac disease is now a rare diagnosis in the United States. The incidence of celiac disease varies from 1 in 6,500 in Sweden1 to 1 in 890 in Switzerland.2 At the Melbourne Children's Hospital in Australia, Townley3 reported seeing 90 new patients with celiac disease in a four-year interval, with an almost equal incidence of newly diagnosed cases of celiac and cystic fibrosis per year. At the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago we now see 20 new cases of cystic fibrosis compared to three new celiac cases per year, despite performing intestinal biopsies in all suspected cases of celiac disease.
