Celiac disease: Symptoms

Celiac disease can manifest at any age and present with a variety of symptoms that can affect both the gastrointestinal tract and other organ systems. Typical gastrointestinal symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, and weight loss. However, extraintestinal symptoms such as iron deficiency, fatigue, skin changes, and neurological abnormalities are also possible. A notable feature of gluten intolerance is that it may present without any symptoms, especially in adults or older people. An important consideration in diagnosing celiac disease is that There is no clinical presentation that can rule out celiac disease with certainty. Even in the presence of symptoms such as obesity or chronic constipation, which are not classically associated with the disease, celiac disease should be considered-especially if there is a family history or accompanying autoimmune diseases.
