Reviews
*4 stars* ""...provides a comprehensive, timely, and critical review of celiac disease and its associated complications and comorbidities.... [C]ontains well-structured chapters with numerous tables, figures, images, algorithms, and decision trees which enhance the reading experience…. [A] clear, up-to-date summary of pediatric and adult celiac disease for all professionals and scientists… with a deliberately clinical approach. One standout element is its goal of intentionally writing for a broad audience of professionals and scientists. The writing is consistently clear and well-referenced, [and] the reading experience is enhanced by colorful figures, comprehensive tables, algorithms, and decision trees.... This is a very well written, comprehensive, up-to-date resource which will be useful to the intended broad audience by striking a balance between breadth and depth in its coverage of celiac disease."" --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Pamela M.
