RESUMEN
In this review we analyzed the guidelines for diagnosis and management of celiac disease, as well as the recent studies published on this issue. Capsule endoscopy could be used in patients unwilling or unable to undergo conventional endoscopy, in patients who have discordant results between serological and histopathological investigation, in patients with nonresponsive or refractory celiac disease.

AIM: Is to evaluate technical aspects and feasibility of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) in the daily clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From I.2014 to VIII.2014 we performed 36 (97.3%) CCE from 37 patients (m-19, f-17, mean age 43.9 ± 14.2 years, range 22-72). RESULTS: Total CCE was performed in 33 (89.2%) patients. In all patients we were able to register anatomy and to evaluate the lumen and the wall of large bowel; to explore and identify mucosal abnormality as well as epithelial lesions. CONCLUSION: The article demonstrates our own experience of colon capsule endoscopy (n = 36); the principal possibilities to evaluate colon anatomy and to detect wide range of abnormality.
