Abstract

Celiac disease and lactose intolerance are nutritional diseases where withdrawal of a specific nutrient is therapeutical. Celiac disease is underdiagnosed while lactose intolerance is over diagnosed, including in naïve or treated celiac patients. The present review highlights myths and realities and revisits common misconceptions in the relationship between celiac disease and lactose intolerance. It is hoped that the care providers will increase the rate of diagnosis of celiac disease, while decreasing the over diagnosis of lactose intolerance for the benefit of the patients.
