Abstract
Celiac disease has been recognized as a multisystem immunological disorder commonly manifested in children and adults. Celiac disease is a common syndrome which is usually efficiently treated with a gluten-free diet as well as an optimal prognosis. Some major symptoms of celiac disease include malabsorption syndrome which could manifest in the form of chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal distention. COVID-19 have been observed to impact and worsen several disorders and lifestyle habits but have been found to not affect patients with autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease. This article would serve as a foundation for further research on the impact of COVID-19 on celiac disease.
