Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an inherited, autoimmune disease. The lining of small intestine is damaged from eating gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats. The intestines contain projections (called villi) that absorb nutrients. In undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease, these villi become flattened and the ability to absorb nutrients properly is altered. As a result, several other organ systems may also be affected. The disease develops at any point in life from infancy to late adulthood.
Causes, incidence and risk factors
The exact cause of celiac disease is unknown. Those with a family member with celiac disease are at greater risk for developing the disease. Women are affected more commonly than men.
There are numerous diseases and conditions associated with celiac disease, including
- Anaemia
- Lactose intolerance
- Dermatitis herpetiformis (a burning, itching, blistering rash) and other skin disorders
- Type 1 diabetes
- Thyroid disease
- Down syndrome
- Unexplained infertility
- Miscarriage
- Osteoporosis or osteopenia
- Certain types of intestinal cancer
- Neurological conditions
- Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus
Symptoms
The symptoms of celiac disease vary significantly from person to person. Symptoms may be intestinal or seemingly non-intestinal in nature. This variability is part of the reason, why the diagnosis is frequently delayed. For example, one person may have constipation, a second may have diarrhea and a third may have no irregularity in stools.
Partial listings of gastrointestinal symptoms are
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal distention, bloating, gas, indigestion
- Constipation
- Decreased appetite (may also be increased or unchanged)
- Diarrhea, chronic or occasional
- Lactose intolerance (common upon diagnosis, usually goes away following treatment)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Stools that float, are foul smelling, bloody, or “fatty”
- Unexplained weight loss (although people can be overweight or of normal weight upon diagnosis)
A partial listing of non-intestinal symptoms
- Anaemia (low Red corpusells count)
- Bone and joint pain
- Bone disease (osteoporosis, kyphoscoliosis, fracture)
- Breathlessness (due to anemia)
- Bruising easily
- Dental enamel defects and discoloration
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Growth delay in children
- Hair loss
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Irritability and behavioral changes
- Malnutrition
