Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge and support necessary to navigate life with Celiac Disease confidently.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding Celiac Disease<\/h2>\n<p>Celiac Disease is also known as coeliac disease or gluten-sensitive enteropathy. It is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with Celiac Disease consume gluten, their immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the small intestine, leading to inflammation and damage. This damage interferes with the absorption of nutrients, resulting in a wide range of symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Common symptoms of Celiac Disease include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abdominal pain<\/li>\n<li>Bloating<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Nutritional deficiencies, including iron and vitamin D deficiency<\/li>\n<li>Skin rashes<\/li>\n<li>Joint pain<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Mood changes<\/li>\n<li>Failure to thrive (in children)<\/li>\n<li>Delayed puberty (in children)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These symptoms can vary in severity and may present differently from person to person. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>A number of people with Celiac Disease will have no symptoms, so it is important to know if you are in one of the \u2018at risk\u2019 groups. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First degree relatives of someone with Celiac Disease<\/li>\n<li>People with type 1 diabetes<\/li>\n<li>People with autoimmune thyroid or liver disease<\/li>\n<li>People with Down syndrome, Turner syndrome or Williams syndrome<\/li>\n<li>People with a selective immune deficiency (IgA deficiency)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are in one of these groups, you should consider getting tested even if you have no symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>Diagnosing Celiac Disease<\/h2>\n<p>Diagnosing Celiac Disease involves a comprehensive approach aimed at understanding the patient\u2019s medical history, conducting physical examinations, and utilizing specific tests. Our experienced healthcare professionals employ state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately assess and diagnose Celiac Disease. Blood tests, such as serology tests measuring antibodies related to Celiac Disease, are often the initial step in screening for the condition.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, further evaluation may include an endoscopy with biopsy to examine the small intestine for signs of damage associated with Celiac Disease.
