baby and doctor The Celiac Disease Program at Children's Hospital Boston offers diagnosis, and treatment of celiac disease. Our experts are some of the best in the country in diagnosing and helping families manage celiac disease with a gluten-free lifestyle. We also have a support group for families and a Celiac Family Health Education resource.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that results in damage to the small intestine, keeping it from properly absorbing food and nutrients. Celiac disease is treated with a permanent gluten-free diet.
