What on Earth is a Celiac ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I had never heard of Celiac Disease until an old friend, who had struggled with lots of strange health issues for most of her adult life, was diagnosed. Now one of my kids is having lots of symptoms ( such as diarrhea) that may fit the profile. I have found the e-booklet at this website to be very useful in arming myself with the knowledge I need to get a clear diagnosis from my doctor."

Kids and Digestive Disease

Children may show signs of the impact of Celiac Sprue by the appearance of symptoms such as diarrhea and other indications of digestive disease within a few weeks or months of beginning cereals in their diet. Children will thrive and appear healthy until gluten is introduced. Chronic diarrhea can be extremely dangerous in a small child.

Children may show classic symptoms such as diarrhea
and intestinal bloating
or be irritable
and have difficulty concentrating.

Celiac Disease can also present with few symptoms and can be associated with autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, anemia, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infertility.
