Why you should read this article:
  • To familiarise yourself with updates to the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition 2020 guidelines for coeliac disease in children

  • To be aware of the different diagnostic pathways for coeliac disease in children

  • To learn about the role of nurses in the assessment and management of coeliac disease in children

In January 2020, the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) updated its guidelines for the diagnosis of paediatric coeliac disease. The revised ESPGHAN guidelines offer a more streamlined approach to diagnostic pathways for the detection of this disease in children. This article provides an update for clinicians on how to diagnose and manage coeliac disease in children based on the revised guidelines and other available literature.
