Isolated growth failure is now well recognized as an early manifestation
of celiac disease. Studies on children attending clinics for short
stature have shown that as many as 10% of them have celiac disease.
Providing the condition is diagnosed and correctly treated before
puberty, the children will show good catch up growth. If left untreated
until after puberty there will be some permanent effect on the height of
the individual.
