Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive system. It is triggered by the consumption of gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Symptoms of the disorder vary, but may include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss.

What is Coeliac Disease?

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive system. It is triggered by the consumption of gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The body's immune system reacts to the gluten, damaging the small intestine and preventing it from absorbing the nutrients from foods. This can lead to a range of symptoms.

Signs and Symptoms of Coeliac Disease

The signs and symptoms of coeliac disease vary from person to person. Common symptoms include:

• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Gas
• Diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Weight loss
• Anemia
• Skin rashes
• Bone or joint pain
• Irritability
• Depression
• Iron deficiency

Diagnosis of Coeliac Disease

If you suspect you have coeliac disease, it is important to visit your doctor for a diagnosis. Diagnosis can involve blood tests, a biopsy of the small intestine, and a gluten challenge.

Treatment of Coeliac Disease

The only treatment for coeliac disease is a lifelong gluten-free diet. This means avoiding all foods that contain gluten, such as wheat, barley, and rye. It is also important to be aware of hidden sources of gluten, such as some processed foods and medications.

Living with Coeliac Disease

Living with coeliac disease can be challenging, but there are many resources available to help you manage the condition. It is important to follow a strict gluten-free diet and to educate yourself about the condition and hidden sources of gluten. Additionally, you may want to join a support group to connect with others who are living with coeliac disease.

The most common signs of being coeliac are abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, fatigue, joint pain and mouth ulcers. Other common symptoms include weight loss, anaemia, and skin problems such as dermatitis herpetiformis. People with coeliac disease may also experience a general feeling of unwellness, headaches, depression, and anxiety. If left untreated, coeliac disease can lead to serious complications such as osteoporosis, liver disease, and even cancer. If you are exhibiting any of these symptoms, it is important to speak to your doctor to get a proper diagnosis.
