Bloating, pain, nausea, anemia. The specialist told what symptoms indicate celiac disease

Rashes on the elbows, knees and buttocks can talk not only about poor nutrition and stress. A possible cause of the disease is gluten intolerance. What symptoms indicate celiac disease, told on the TV channel ONT, writes sb.by.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. The disease combines the symptoms of herpes, gastritis, arthritis, anemia and poisoning. Because of this disguise, the correct diagnosis is sometimes not immediately possible. It happens that a person treats individual organs, while the real reason lies in his plate. In patients with this disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks the intestinal walls in response to eating gluten.

Head of the Minsk City Health Center Snejana Cavrigo told what symptoms indicate celiac disease:

- Among the symptoms are chronic diarrhea, prolonged liquid stools, bloating, flatulence, constant rumbling, pain and spasms in the navel area or throughout the abdomen, nausea and frequent vomiting, constipation can alternate with diarrhea. There may be iron deficiency anemia that is not amenable to conventional treatment with iron preparations, chronic fatigue, fatigue, apathy and headaches. A sign can be a sharp weight loss, problems with the oral cavity, destruction of tooth enamel, frequent stomatitis, as well as herpetiform dermatitis - a specific itchy skin rash in the form of bubbles on the elbows, knees and buttocks.

Grains, cereals, pastries and flour products, pasta, some drinks are the main sources of gluten. But it is worth noting that it is often added to finished products: meat semi-finished products, industrial sauces and snacks contain hidden gluten. If celiac disease is suspected, it is necessary to contact a gastroenterologist to clarify the diagnosis and discuss treatment.
