This illness, also known as Coeliac disease, has a range of indicators that will be different from person to person. Some of the most common ones include digestive complaints such as bloating, cramping and diarrhea. However, these indicators are common to a range of digestive illnesses, such as an inability to digest lactose, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and therefore should be backed up by other indicators if Coeliac disease is suspected.
A more serious indicator is sudden and rapid weight loss and malnutrition. Malnutrition is most easily noticeable through rapid hair loss, and weak nails. Sufferers of Coeliac disease are malnourished because their bodies stop absorbing the appropriate nutrients. Sometimes selective nutrient deficiencies can be an indicator, even if they are not accompanied by gastrointestinal problems. If you exhibit these indicators, see your GP as soon as possible.
The sooner you see a GP, the sooner you can get a diagnosis and begin a safer, gluten-free diet. Coeliac disease can be fatal if left untreated, so if you suspect you or someone you love may be suffering, make a call today.
