Understanding Coeliac Disease

Your Guide to Managing Coeliac Disease Effectively

Discover essential information on Coeliac Disease, its symptoms, and how to manage it with a gluten-free lifestyle.

Comprehensive Overview of Coeliac Disease

Coeliac Disease is a serious autoimmune condition where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. This damage impairs nutrient absorption, causing symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and anemia. It’s crucial for individuals with Coeliac Disease to adhere to a strict gluten-free diet to prevent further health complications and ensure proper nutrient intake.

Diagnostic Process for Coeliac Disease

Blood Tests for Antibodies

Initial screening involves blood tests to detect antibodies such as anti-TTG and EMA, which are indicative of an immune response to gluten.

Endoscopy and Biopsy

An endoscopy with a small bowel biopsy is performed to examine the intestinal lining for damage, confirming the diagnosis.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing for HLA-DQ2/DQ8 may be conducted to further support the diagnosis, especially in complex cases.
