In the sample analyzed, no greater risk of eating disorders was identified in patients with celiac disease compared with the control group. However, in general, about one-third of the respondents in each group had scores associated with the risk of eating disorders. Among celiac patients, depression, difficulties living with celiac disease, and being unhappy with one's weight were associated with higher risk for eating disorder.
