Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune inflammation of the intestine that develops in genetically predisposed people . In these people, ingesting foods that contain gluten, which is found in certain grains such as wheat, barley and rye, causes an abnormal and disproportionate response. The most common manifestations are abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, bloating and/or weight loss.

*Please note that our consultations are offered via telemedicine only, with a doctor or a specialized nurse practitioner (IPS). The prescription for the laboratory request may vary depending on your health condition. Our healthcare professional may add or remove tests depending on your situation. Prices will be adjusted accordingly.
Our consultations and assessments are only offered to people who are in Quebec at the time of the telemedicine consultation. In the event that our health professional prescribes more analyzes than those already included in the assessment, you have the choice of carrying out these additional analyzes with our private laboratories or in the Quebec public health system.
We will send you the official receipt for your insurance claim by email, following the nurse's visit to your home.
