A quarter of all new patients diagnosed with coeliac disease are in their seventh decade or older. Coeliac disease presents with a wide range of symptoms. It is under diagnosed, especially in the elderly who may present with only iron deficiency anaemia. The mean delay in diagnosis in elderly patients is around 17 years. Early treatment is necessary to avoid potential associated complications.
