A member asked:

Egd shows 4 yr old has "chemical gastropathy" no history of meds. could celiac disease cause this?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Talk to GI doc: I don't understand what this term means and you thus call the doctor who made the diagnosis to provide you with an explanation as well as treatment options. Celiac disease is considered an immunologic disease and not a chemical problem.
