Are there degrees of coeliac disease?

Have you ever considered whether there are degrees of coeliac disease? When coeliac disease is diagnosed, a person only has one option, which is that they have coeliac disease, and therefore there are no degrees of coeliac disease.

When referring to «degrees» related to coeliac disease, what is actually meant is the extent of intestinal damage at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, it is a necessary term for assessing the condition, but it can never be used to define coeliac disease itself.

In order to regulate their immune system, a person with coeliac disease must strictly follow the treatment, which is simply to maintain a gluten-free diet for the rest of their life. Despite this, the chronic nature of the condition does not disappear, hence the importance of strictly adhering to the 100 % gluten-free diet.
