Celiac disease

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the consumption of gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) causes damage to the small intestine. Symptoms can include digestive issues, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. 

When is it necessary to see a doctor?

If you experience persistent digestive symptoms, it's time to see a doctor for a celiac disease evaluation. A doctor can perform blood tests and recommend a gluten-free diet to manage your symptoms and prevent long-term complications. Treatment involves adopting a strict gluten-free diet, which can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications such as malnutrition and osteoporosis.
