Celiac Disease

Causes & Symptoms:

Causes: 

• Family History: Having a first-degree relative (parent, child, sibling) with celiac disease significantly raises the risk, indicating a strong genetic link.
• Gluten Ingestion: When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a harmful substance
• Certain gastrointestinal infections, particularly in early childhood, may trigger celiac disease in genetically predisposed individuals.
• Severe stress, surgery, or other significant physical stressors may trigger the onset of symptoms in genetically predisposed individuals.

Symptoms:

•  Diarrhoea,

• Abdominal pain

• Cramps & bloated abdomen, 
• Weight loss, 

• The stool is pale, loose, voluminous & greasy. 
• Due to malabsorption of nutrients, anaemia, weak bones, fatigue, deficiency of copper, zinc, iron, & selenium can also arise. 
• In children, celiac disease hinders growth & development.

If celiac disease remains untreated, persistent intestinal inflammation and malabsorption can lead to:

• Iron-deficiency or other nutritional anemia
• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Osteopenia or osteoporosis
• Reduced bone strength and increased fracture risk
• Poor growth and delayed puberty in children
• Unintentional weight loss or malnutrition
• Infertility or reproductive problems in some individuals
• Neurological problems associated with nutritional deficiencies
• Dermatitis herpetiformis
• Increased risk of certain intestinal malignancies, particularly enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, although these complications are uncommon
