Abstract
Celiac Disease (CD) manifests itself in different ways, and can appear at any age, with often late diagnosis. This study aims to analyze how patients obtained the diagnosis. This is a quantitative cross-sectional research, with an electronic questionnaire sent to members of the Association of Celiacs of Brasília (ACELBRA DF) between April and May 2024. Variables such as participant identification, family history, symptoms, diagnostic methods, time between symptom onset and diagnosis, and use of the gluten challenge protocol were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Epi Info 7.2.6.0 program. It was observed that 67% (n=73) of the diagnoses occurred late (after 8 years), due to the complexity and variability of the symptoms, often without nutritional follow-up and without clear protocols. It is concluded that the performance of a multidisciplinary team is essential to improve the quality of life of patients and assist in early diagnosis. Thus, it is recommended to expand access to information for health professionals and patients, in addition to improving gluten insertion protocols, making them more objective. Optimizing the diagnostic time can reduce complications and improve the quality of life of CD patients.
