Dysphagia is an uncommon symptom for celiac disease (CD). Typically, patients with CD present with abdominal pain, diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, growth failure, anemia, or fatigue. We report a case of dysphagia in a pediatric patient with negative celiac serologies and positive histologic findings suspicious for CD. Our patient's dysphagia resolved after being placed on a gluten-free diet. Repeat interval endoscopy on a gluten-free diet to assess for resolution of histological changes confirmed the diagnosis of CD. In patients with dysphagia, CD should be considered in the differential diagnosis despite negative celiac serologies.
