Gluten-induced enteropathy or coeliac disease is a condition characterized by
malabsorption
and a variety of clinical manifestations. In adults, coeliac disease may be discovered while investigating iron-deficient anemia, bone pain or unexplained weight loss.

laryngospasm
secondary to severe hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia. The
malabsorption syndrome
was responsible for low levels of vitamin D, causing the electrolytic imbalance.
Laryngospasm
is a rare symptom of hypocalcemia and has not, to our knowledge, been described in the context of coeliac disease.
