What is celiac disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by the body's sensitivity to gluten**, **protein found in wheat**, **barley and rye**... This disease causes damage to **essential cellular villi and prevents the absorption of cellular villi in the body.. It can cause symptoms such as digestive problems, **chronic fatigue** and **Weight loss** is accompanied, but in some cases there are no symptoms... Timely diagnosis and treatment of this disease is of great importance, because neglecting it can lead to serious complications such as osteoporosis or anemia. - Bloating and abdominal pain - **Weight loss for no particular reason** - **nausea and vomiting** - Greasy or smelly stools - Anemia (caused by iron deficiency) - Chronic fatigue - **Osteoporosis or soft bones (due to lack of calcium and vitamin D)** - **hair loss (alopecia)** - Nervous disorders such as depression, anxiety or numbness in hands and feet - **oral ulcer** - Children's developmental disorders (short stature or delayed puberty) Celiac disease can be associated with various symptoms, including digestive problems, fatigue, and complications in the nervous or bone system. These symptoms may have different severity and type, and in some cases, they may even appear without specific symptoms. What symptoms does celiac disease cause in children? Celiac disease in children can appear with symptoms such as digestive disorders (**such as diarrhea or constipation**), inability to gain or lose weight and delayed growth... Also, non-digestive symptoms such as **fatigue**, **muscle weakness**, **excitability** or delayed puberty may be seen... What is the cause of celiac disease?.. **The exact cause of this disease is not known**, but genetic factors play an important role, especially in people who have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genes.. Also, factors such as viral infections, severe stress or changes in diet can trigger the disease.. **such as wheat, barley and rye,** it is caused.... This autoimmune reaction damages the villi of the small intestine and prevents the absorption of nutrients....Who is more susceptible to celiac disease?...People who are more susceptible to celiac disease are usually at higher risk for genetic diseases. 1, Hashimoto's thyroid disease** or **rheumatoid arthritis** are more at risk.. Also, people with certain genetic conditions such as **Down's syndrome**, **Turner's syndrome.. are more likely to have this disease** or Turner's syndrome.. **Immunoglobulin A** (IgA) deficiency is also considered a risk factor. first, the doctor asks about digestive problems, **family history** and related diseases.

This test includes a **blood test** to** detect specific antibodies **such as**tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibody (EMA)**....If these tests are positive, **usually an endoscopy in the test A small test is done along with the damage of the sample.. villi.... These tests help doctors to diagnose the disease with more confidence and start the appropriate treatment.... What is gluten?... **Gluten is a natural protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye**.... This protein is in **dough and creates an elastic state *********** in bread and gluten products and.... It is harmless to most people. is **, it can stimulate the immune system in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity... reduction of immunity and damage to the intestine... these people should avoid consuming food containing gluten.... What is the difference between gluten sensitivity and celiac disease?. A non-autoimmune condition that causes symptoms such as bloating and headache... The main difference is in the origin of the disease and the severity of the body's reaction to gluten... initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport">Despite the similarity in symptoms, the slow diagnosis of celiac disease and gluten is different*.. What is resistant celiac disease?. Treatment-resistant celiac disease is a type of celiac disease whose symptoms remain or worsen despite strict adherence to a gluten-free diet... In this case, the damage to the small intestine does not go away even after the complete elimination of gluten from the diet... This situation usually occurs for two reasons: - Unwanted consumption of gluten due to cross-contamination or lack of awareness.... Resistant celiac disease is a rare but serious disease that requires careful medical follow-up and specialized management. Timely treatment can prevent serious complications and improve a person's quality of life. Celiac complications, if left untreated, can include serious problems such as malnutrition, osteoporosis, and anemia. This disease also increases the risk of developing neurological disorders and some cancers. **Anemia, lack of vitamin B*...*: or chronic headaches... - **Increased risk of cancer**: especially small intestine lymphoma or other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract... - **Other autoimmune disorders**: such as type 1 diabetes or thyroid disease.... Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet can prevent serious complications of celiac disease... This condition usually occurs due to **accidental consumption of gluten** (such as cross-contamination), poor dietary adherence, or co-existing digestive disorders (such as irritable bowel syndrome)... Any history of **... disease?... Because celiac disease is a genetic disorder, it cannot be **definitely** prevented... However, some measures can help reduce the likelihood of symptoms or better manage the disease: - **balanced consumption of gluten in childhood**: research has shown that starting a balanced consumption of gluten at the right age (not too early and not too late) may reduce the risk of developing it... infections) may help reduce the risk... - **healthy lifestyle**: a balanced diet and strengthening the immune system can help reduce the risk of developing this disease in people, although its symptoms may be completely reduced.. awareness of risk factors and general health care can begin Postpone the symptoms.... Consultation with a doctor is very important in case of family history or suspicious symptoms.... When should we see a doctor?.. In case of persistent digestive problems such as diarrhea, bloating or **constipation** or **non-digestive symptoms such as fatigue and anemia**, you should see a doctor..

Life expectancy of celiac patients The life expectancy of celiac patients if diagnosed in time and following a gluten-free diet is almost the same as that of healthy people and **does not affect their average life expectancy**...
