A recent study demonstrated increased rates of celiac disease in women who present with unexplained infertility. The study evaluated 191 female patients presenting with infertility. Each participant underwent serologic screening for celiac disease as well as routine infertility testing. The four patients who had positive serum test results were advised to seek evaluation with a gastroenterologist. All four patients were confirmed to have celiac disease.
