Abstract
In this work on celiac disease, the authors focus mainly on the most relevant historical aspects that have been patterning knowledge on celiac disease. Once more details of the disease through their symptoms have been known, a more rigorous profile of this pathology was made. Thus, the Celiac Diseases first was considered a chronic indigestion without relation to the type of food ingested, then it was found that it was based on an intolerance to gliadin and other similar proteins, later that it is an autoimmune disease. The important contributions of Areteo, Soriano, Gee, Herter, Dicke, Anderson, Marsh are reviewed and their contributions and research have helped indisputably the knowledge of the central aspects of the Celiac Disease. This paper does not want to obviate the work of Spanish physicians and researcher as Santiago Cavengt, Angel Ballabriga, Manuel Suarez Perdiguero, Isabel Polanco nor the work of the international and national Celiacs societies and the Spanish “Ministry of Salud y Consumo”.
