“no thanks, I’m gluten-free” has become a staple phrase these days, but for about 1% of the population who has celiac disease, it’s not a fad, it’s a necessity.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum celiac disease symptoms include abdominal bloating and pain, fatigue, and weight loss, among others.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal bloating and pain can have many other explanations.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum celiac also may not be your first suspicion if you suffer from nondescript signs, like fatigue and depression, which makes learning about the disease even more critical.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum here’s what you need to know about celiac disease, whether you’ve just been diagnosed or suspect you may have it.

At face value, celiac disease may sound rather mild, but left unchecked it can spark pretty significant future health issues.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum severe intestinal damage due to celiac disease can lead to poor absorption of nutrients. When your body can’t pull the nutrients out of food and ferry them around, you suffer from nutrient deficiencies, which cause a host of other health problems, like osteoporosis, fertility issues, rashes, and anemia.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum in children, this can mess with development. “they can experience failure to thrive, delayed puberty, or a short stature,” says dr.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum guandalini.

A gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac, but you may also need vitamin and mineral supplements. For instance, as dr.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum demeo explains, folate and iron deficiencies are two common nutrient problems for people with celiac disease.

DeMeo says he has his celiac disease patients come in once a year to check vitamin levels and once every two years for a bone density scan if they were nutrient deficient.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum

To call celiac part of a trend is a sad truth. In fact, 2.6 million people who don’t have celiac disease follow a gluten-free diet, says dr.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum gaundalini. With such a large consumer base, companies are coming out with gluten-free everything, and it’s easier than ever to find gluten-free menus at restaurants.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum that “blurs the strict need for a patient to be gluten-free,” he says.

If a server at a restaurant thinks you’re gluten-free to lose weight, they may not be as adamant about making sure your food isn’t contaminated.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum patients need to express the severity of the situation. “I’ve posed the question, ‘what is safe for me to eat here,’ which puts an extra onus on the server to seriously think about what I can eat,” says myers.Acoustic neuroma symptoms forum
