Core Tip	Dyspepsia is classified as a chronic abdominal pain-related functional disorder that affects almost 40% of the population. It can be also a manifestation of celiac disease, an immuno-mediated enteropathy, caused by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed patients. The prevalence of celiac disease among dyspeptic patients has been investigated, with results ranging from 0.5% to 2%. Celiac disease diagnosis requires histological evaluation of villous atrophy on duodenal biopsies specimens. Screening for celiac disease in dyspeptic patients and routinely performing of biopsies during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, may be useful as part of the diagnostic flow-chart of these patients.
