Celiac Disease Treatment in Zephyrhills, FL

Celiac Disease Symptoms

Celiac disease varies in its severity. For some people, it may be entirely asymptomatic, meaning that it has no noticeable symptoms. For many, however, celiac disease causes very troublesome problems when gluten is ingested.

Some of the most common symptoms of celiac disease include:

Celiac disease can appear in both adults and children. In children, certain symptoms may be more prominent, including constipation, swollen stomach and reduced coordination.

Celiac Disease Causes

The symptoms associated with celiac disease are caused by the inflammation of the digestive system. This occurs because the body is rejecting gluten, which leads to these symptoms as an autoimmune response.

What actually causes this medical intolerance to gluten is currently unknown. Certain risk factors, however, can contribute to the appearance of celiac disease. These include:

Celiac disease treatment begins with a test to determine if the condition is present. This is most often performed with a blood testing , but an endoscopy may also be used.

Celiac Disease Treatment

There is no cure for celiac disease. With the right treatment plan, however, the symptoms can be lessened or mitigated. The most common form of celiac disease treatment is the gluten-free diet. As the name implies, this diet avoids gluten entirely to avoid flare-ups.

Some foods that commonly include gluten are:

  • Bread
  • Pasta
  • Beer
  • Cereal
  • Foods fried in oil
  • Cookies
  • Crackers
  • Many sauces
  • Processed meat

Many foods are now helpfully labeled as “gluten free.” Certain supplements may also help those who suffer from celiac disease. These include:

There are also medications that are designed to control intestinal inflammation.
