A Silent, Under-recognized Disease: Celiac Disease’s Social and Psychological Impacts

Presenter(s): Ivo Decarlis

Faculty Mentor(s): Casey Reid

Oral Session 3 CQ

This term I am conducting qualitative research about the social and psychological issues that individuals with celiac disease experience. Using information from interviews and relevant secondary research to help contextualize and analyze the issues that individuals with celiac face,I will explain and give examples of the daily problems that individuals with celiac experience. Preliminary research indicates that the social and psychological problems exist due to society’s ignorance regarding celiac disease. In doing this project, my goal is to share my research, inform others about what celiac disease is, and explore ways to address the issues that individuals with celiac disease experience.
