Did you know that stress, pregnancy, surgery, physical injury, infection and childbirth are events that can cause symptoms of celiac to appear? About 80% of the celiac population remains undiagnosed. Celiac can look like other digestive disorders like crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and diverticulitis (infection of the colon) to name a few, which makes it hard to diagnose and lack of training in medical schools and primary care residency programs contributes to the low diagnosis rate. Celiac disease is more common in people who are Caucasian, or have type 1 diabetes, down syndrome, are infertile, have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or have ancestors from Europe. The older a person is at diagnosis the more likely they are to develop another autoimmune disease according to a 1999 study. Untreated celiac disease can lead to long term health problems, such as early onset osteoporosis, gallbladder malfunction, lactose intolerance, infertility and miscarriage, liver failure and neurologic symptoms which can include ADHD, lack of muscle coordination, seizures, small intestinal cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, dementia. There are more than 200 known symptoms related to celiac disease so if you suffer from any of these symptoms contact your doctor. Silent Celiac disease is when the patient has no complaints or symptoms to report but is still showing in tests that there is damage in the intestine.

Non-Classical Celiac disease consists of mild gastro symptoms such abdominal pain or bloating, iron deficiency, chronic fatigue, chronic migraine, tingling, numbness or pain in the hands and feet, vitamin deficiency, difficulty losing weight, early menopause and infertility. Classical Celiac disease is a malabsorption of nutrients that can lead to diarrhea, pale, foul smelling, fatty stools, weight loss, growth failure in children. If your parent, sibling or child has celiac disease you have a 1 in 10 chance of developing it yourself. Celiac disease can develop at any age affecting both adults and children. Consuming gluten which is found in wheat, rye and barley causes an immune response in the body that attacks the small intestine, preventing the absorption of nutrients. What is it? How is it diagnosed? What are the symptoms? Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the small intestine. This month we are talking all things related to Celiac Disease.
