Celiac Disease

Someone with coeliac disease has an immune system reaction that destroys the small intestine. Gluten, a protein present in wheat, barley, and rye, causes this reaction. If neglected, this disorder can cause several health issues, including nutrient absorption problems. Often inherited, coeliac disease can strike at any age.
Typical complaints include weight loss, diarrhoea, bloating, fatigue, and stomach aches. Some people, though, may have non-digestive problems including anaemia, osteoporosis, depression, or skin rashes (dermatitis herpetiformis). If you don't treat coeliac disease, it can lead to serious issues like poor nutrition, infertility, neurological diseases, and a higher risk of developing intestinal cancer.
Usually made by blood testing identifying particular antibodies, diagnosis follows a small intestinal biopsy. A rigorous lifetime gluten-free diet is the only treatment that works; it helps the intestine recover and stops more issues. Many manufactured foods contain gluten, so avoiding it requires careful meal planning and label reading.
Those with coeliac disease can have normal lives with excellent dietary control. Supporting people with this disorder depends on increasing awareness of gluten-free dietary choices and enhancing the possibilities. Frequent medical follow-ups are also advised to monitor nutritional status and general health.
