Survey results revealed practice variation regarding the diagnosis and management of CeD in North America including a substantial proportion accepting non-biopsy, serology-based diagnosis, which increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Variations in screening, diagnosis, interval surveillance, and family screening were also identified. Dedicated CeD education in pediatric gastroenterology fellowship may be an opportunity for standardizing practice and advancing research. Future North American guidelines should take current care patterns into consideration and develop new initiatives to improve care of children with CeD.
