Celiac Disease is often called as Gluten sensitive Enteropathy or non tropical sprue, caused by the body’s response to gliadin. This condition can lead to the mal absorption of virtually all nutrients due to the damage to the villi of intestinal mucosa. When the villi gets damaged, nutrients will not be properly absorbed into the body for its metabolic functions. Diarrhoea, Growth failure, vomiting, bloated abdomen, are some of the symptoms associated with it for children from 6 months to 3 years of age. Despite increased appetite, adults may still experience weight loss, anaemia and osteopenia. Celiac Disease can occur in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten which is mainly found in wheat leads to damage in the small intestine. This is a serious autoimmune disorder where people are even undiagnosed and are at risk for long term health complications.
Generally Celiac disease can develop at any age after people start eating foods, medicines or supplements that contain gluten.
