Celiac Disease – When Gluten Affects Your Gut

  18-Oct-2025

Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disorder where eating gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye — damages the lining of the small intestine. Over time, this leads to poor nutrient absorption, fatigue, and various digestive problems.

Early diagnosis and proper dietary management are key to controlling this lifelong condition.

Common Symptoms of Celiac Disease

Celiac disease can affect both children and adults. Its symptoms vary but commonly include:

  • Chronic diarrhea or constipation
  • Abdominal bloating and gas
  • Weight loss despite normal eating
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Anemia or nutrient deficiencies
  • Skin rash or joint pain

If untreated, it can lead to long-term complications such as osteoporosis, infertility, or other autoimmune diseases.
