Celiac Disease is an immune reaction to eating food with gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, etc. Gluten triggers an immune reaction in the small intestine. This eventually destroys the inner lining and prevents you from absorbing much-needed nutrients. The damage to the intestines also causes most of the symptoms associated with Celiac Disease like diarrhoea, fatigue, weight loss, etc. If left untreated, it can lead to some serious complications. This can also affect growth and development in children.
Most people with Celiac Disease never realise that they have it. Only about 20% of people with Celiac Disease get the right diagnosis.
The only way to manage symptoms is to have a completely gluten-free diet for the rest of your life. This allows your intestines to heal.
People with Celiac Disease have high levels of antiendomysium (EMA) & anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTGA) antibodies, which can be detected with blood tests.
Common symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, gas, heartburn, nausea, fatigue and more.
Celiac Disease is more often diagnosed in women. You are more likely to develop Celiac Disease if a family member has the disease.

Though there’s no cure, a gluten-free diet has been shown to be effective at managing symptoms. But this takes at least 1-2 years for adults.

A celiac patient’s immune system overreacts in response to gluten. This causes damage to the small intestine, reducing its ability to absorb nutrients.
Research suggests that certain infections, like gastroenteritis, could start the immune system response associated with celiac disease.
