Video: Dr. Joseph Murray explains results of Mayo Clinic celiac study

There has been lots of publicity this week about celiac disease because results of the Mayo Clinic study were published.   In this video, Dr. Murray further explains these findings and their implications.

Celiac disease, an immune system reaction to gluten in the diet, is over four times more common today than it was 50 years ago, according to findings of a Mayo Clinic study published this month in the journal Gastroenterology.

The study also found that subjects who did not know they had celiac disease were nearly four times more likely than celiac-free subjects to have died during the 45 years of follow-up."
