Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by an immunological response to a gluten-containing diet in genetically predisposed individuals. The disease is considered uncommon in people of East Asian descent, but the prevalence among the Korean population is unknown. Increased awareness and recognition of CD in East Asia could lead to higher diagnosis rates. This paper reports two children of Korean heritage in Australia diagnosed with CD.
