What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which consuming gluten damages the small intestine. It can cause digestive problems, nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, anemia, and other health complications if left untreated.

Symptoms may include:

  • Chronic diarrhea or constipation
  • Bloating and abdominal pain
  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Anemia
  • Poor growth in children

How is Celiac Disease diagnosed?

Diagnosis usually involves blood tests, medical history, and in many cases an intestinal biopsy. Early diagnosis helps prevent long-term complications.

What is the difference between Wheat Allergy, Gluten Sensitivity, and Celiac Disease?

Although they involve reactions to wheat or gluten, they are different conditions:

  • Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder.
