Understanding the Connection Between Celiac Disease and Childhood Infections

Further studies regarding the link between microbes and development of celiac disease have complicated the things and understanding because some studies show that fall in colonization of our body by particular microbes may, in fact, be contributing to the upsurge in the prevalence of celiac disease. It has been found that children who were born due to a C-section rather through birth canal via natural process were at increased risk as their body had poor colonization by microbes. Inverse link has been demonstrated between Helicobacter pylori colonization and celiac disease(2).
