Abstract
Celiac sprue usually results in biochemical and clinical signs of malabsorption, nutrient loss, and resulting growth failure. We report a child with celiac sprue diagnosed at 1 year of age who was initially cachectic but who eventually developed obesity while taking a gluten-containing diet.Keywords
