About Coeliac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine, damaging its lining and impairing nutrient absorption.

Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue, and weight loss, though some may experience silent symptoms or none at all. Left untreated, it can lead to complications like malnutrition, osteoporosis, and other autoimmune conditions. A strict gluten-free diet is essential for management.

Main Symptoms Of Coeliac Disease

1. Chronic diarrhea
Frequent, loose, or watery stools.

2. Abdominal pain and bloating
Persistent discomfort after eating.

3. Weight loss
Unintended, often due to poor nutrient absorption.

4. Fatigue
Persistent tiredness, often from malnutrition or inflammation.

5. Nausea and vomiting
Especially after consuming gluten.

6. Constipation
Some individuals experience difficulty with bowel movements.

7. Iron-deficiency anemia
Caused by impaired iron absorption.

8. Skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis)
Itchy, blistering skin condition linked to gluten.

9. Mouth ulcers
Recurring sores in the mouth.

10. Bone or joint pain
Due to nutrient deficiencies or inflammation.

11. Headaches or migraines
Frequently reported in those with gluten sensitivity.

12. Neurological symptoms
Numbness, tingling, or “brain fog.”

Potential Causes Of Coeliac's

Celiac disease is triggered by an immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While its exact cause isn’t fully understood, several factors contribute to its development:

1. Genetics: People with specific genes (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) are more susceptible.

2. Immune system dysfunction: The immune system mistakenly attacks the small intestine when gluten is ingested.

3. Gut microbiome imbalance: Disruptions in gut bacteria may influence disease onset.

4. Environmental triggers: Infections, stress, or surgery can activate the condition.

5. Early gluten exposure: Timing of gluten introduction in infancy may play a role.

These factors work together to predispose individuals to the disease.
