Signs & Symptoms of Celiac Disease

Celiac disease symptoms vary so widely among patients that there is no such thing as a "typical celiac." The amount of intestinal damage that has occurred and the length of time nutrient absorption has been abnormal seem to be the factors that determine the type and

severity of symptoms experienced.Some people with celiac disease report no symptoms at all, however they are still at risk for

complications.With prevalence estimates nearing 1 in 100, celiac disease is the most common genetic

disease in the US. Review these symptoms and see a physician for further discussion and testing.
