Often diagnosed in conjunction with type 1 diabetes mellitus, celiac disease (prevalence 500–1000
per 100000, more prevalent in women than in men, age of onset 6–18 months upon introduction of
grain products and a second peak at 20–40 years) is an autoimmune disease that presents with
gastrointestinal complaints of bloating and chronic diarrhea, weight loss, osteoporosis and fatigue [32].
Recent data have suggested altered (small) intestinal microbiota composition in subjects with celiac
disease [33], but at this moment no data on fecal transplantation in celiac disease have been reported.
