Celiac Disease. Does the Honeymoon Exist?

We present the case of a 7-year-old patient diagnosed with coeliac disease at the age of 6 months with compatible clinical, laboratory and histological findings. Improvement after gluten withdrawal. Because of the early diagnosis, gluten was reintroduced at 4 years of age and she remained asymptomatic for 3 years, at which time she began again with symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhoea and stature stagnation. Laboratory tests showe delevated anti-celiac antibodies. This leads us to believe that there is a honey moon phase of the disease that has not been described in theliterature.
