Symptoms of Celiac Disease

Celiac Disease (CD) is a chronic digestive disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Symptoms of CD can vary greatly from person to person, ranging from mild to severe. Common symptoms include:

Gastrointestinal Symptoms: These include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and/or nausea.

Malnutrition Symptoms: These include weight loss, nutrient deficiencies, and delayed growth.

Skin Symptoms: These include an itchy skin rash called dermatitis herpetiformis.

Neurological Symptoms: These include headaches, fatigue, and/or tingling in the legs and feet.

Other Symptoms: These include anemia, osteoporosis, infertility, and/or depression.

If you think you may have Celiac Disease, it is important to visit your doctor for diagnosis. A simple blood test can detect antibodies associated with the disease. Once diagnosed, it is important to avoid gluten-containing foods and follow a strict gluten-free diet to minimize symptoms and maintain good health.

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive system. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. Other symptoms can include anemia, fatigue, weight loss, and joint pain. In some cases, people with Celiac Disease may also experience skin rashes, depression, headaches, and poor growth in children. If left untreated, Celiac Disease can lead to malnutrition and other complications. A diagnosis is made through a combination of blood tests and biopsies. Treatment requires a lifelong commitment to a gluten-free diet.

Common symptoms include abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, anemia, weight loss, and unexplained skin rashes. Long-term effects may include infertility, neurological symptoms, and an increased risk of other autoimmune disorders. If left untreated, it can also cause more serious complications such as osteoporosis, intestinal cancer, or anemia. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment of any related symptoms.

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive system, caused by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, which can vary in severity depending on the individual.

Common symptoms of Celiac Disease include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and weight loss. Other digestive symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux. Some people may also experience joint pain, fatigue, and headaches.

In addition to digestive symptoms, those with Celiac Disease may also experience skin problems such as a rash that develops on the elbows, knees, and buttocks. This rash is called dermatitis herpetiformis. Other skin conditions include blistering, itching, and eczema.

Those with Celiac Disease also have an increased risk of developing other conditions, such as anemia, osteoporosis, and infertility. It is important to note that not all people with Celiac Disease experience symptoms; some may be asymptomatic.

The only way to diagnose Celiac Disease is with a blood test and an endoscopy, where a doctor takes a small sample of the lining of the small intestine to examine for damage. If you have any of the above symptoms, it is important to speak to your doctor about getting tested for Celiac Disease.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the body reacts to eating gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley) by damaging the small intestine. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, anemia, fatigue, weight loss, and joint pain. More rarely, skin rashes, difficulty concentrating, and depression can also be symptoms of celiac disease. It is important to note that celiac disease can present differently in each person and a combination of symptoms must be taken into consideration when seeking a diagnosis.
