All about her Celiac disease

Celiac disease is an immune system-related condition where the affected person’s immune system works against the body. This autoimmune reaction starts when someone eats gluten.

Celiac disease can lead to malnutrition, decreased density, fertility problems, neurological diseases, and sometimes even cancer. Celiac disease has double effects as it can cause both weight gain as well as weight loss.  It may also lead to long-term digestive problems. It affects 1 in 100 people. 

Common symptoms that one may notice are fatigue, weight loss, bloating, palpitations, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and even constipation.

In addition, some adults have anemia, mouth sores, and headache, which will also show symptoms such as itchy skin, and joint pain. Some people with this disease will have no symptoms at all. Currently, there is no specific treatment for the disease other than a strict gluten-free diet. 

Many foods such as dairy products, fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish are free of gluten that you can include in your diet, and rice, corn, potatoes, soybeans, and corn are recommended.
