Obviously, *some* patients will present with symptoms that are not commonly seen in others.

But why call certain symptoms "classic symptoms" if the *majority* of patients don't have them?

I would be glad to be corrected by a medical professional, but as it stands currently, it looks like that particular line was written by an unknowledgeable person or someone with an agenda of including more people in the diagnosis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EditorPerson53 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• It appears that the sources for that sentence are saying that the "classic" symptoms may be more common, especially because malnutrition and failure to thrive are becoming less common, but that, because the non-classic symptoms are more variable and present differently, it's hard to be sure. Also, "classic" has a bit of the meaning of "older", so I don't think the sentence is misleading. Perhaps it is a bit unclear, so please suggest better phrasing if you like.

A few sentences without sources and one unsourced image with a dubious copyright restriction (File:Coeliac Disease.png: "for exclusive use on Wikipedia"). A455bcd9 (talk) 14:51, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• In addition to uncited text, there is some WP:CITATIONOVERKILL. This is sometimes the result of drive-by insertion of primary sources by editors promoting their own work, so a review of those instances where there are two to six citations should be conducted to see if they are all necessary, and to use the most recent, highest-quality source instead.

• A check for dated text should be conducted throughout. For example:
  • Text in the lead cited to 2006 and 2017: As a result of screening, the diagnosis is increasingly being made in people who have no symptoms.[28] Evidence regarding the effects of screening, however, is not sufficient to determine its usefulness.[29] SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
