Frequently Asked Questions

Celiac disease is a genetic immune-mediated disorder triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It causes an immune reaction in the small intestine, leading to damage and inflammation. Other than the intestine, it can involve multiple other organs.

The symptoms can vary, but common signs include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, and skin rash. However, some individuals may have no noticeable symptoms. Young children may have growth retardation.

The diagnosis involves a blood test to check for specific antibodies associated with celiac disease. A confirmatory test, called an intestinal biopsy, may also be performed to examine the small intestine for damage.

Yes, there is a genetic component to celiac disease. Individuals with certain genes, specifically HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, are at an increased risk.

Yes, children can develop celiac disease at any age, from infancy to adolescence. It is important to consider celiac disease as a potential cause of symptoms in children, such as growth problems and chronic digestive issues.

No, a gluten-free diet is the cornerstone of managing celiac disease. Consuming even small amounts of gluten can trigger symptoms and damage the small intestine. Strict adherence to the diet is crucial.

Yes, gluten can be found in many foods, including processed products, sauces, and even medications. It is important to read labels carefully, be aware of cross-contamination, and work with a knowledgeable dietitian to navigate a gluten-free lifestyle.

Pure, uncontaminated oats are generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease. However, some individuals may still have a reaction to oats, so it is recommended to introduce them gradually and monitor symptoms.

Yes, a condition known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) can cause similar symptoms to celiac disease without the characteristic intestinal damage. NCGS is diagnosed when celiac disease and other conditions are ruled out.

Yes, individuals with celiac disease have a higher risk of developing other autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune liver diseases.

Yes, celiac disease can be diagnosed at any age, even in older adults. It is not uncommon for individuals to develop celiac disease later in life, even if they previously had no symptoms.

Medications may be prescribed to manage associated symptoms or complications, such as acid reflux or nutrient deficiencies.

No, celiac disease is a lifelong condition. Once diagnosed, it requires ongoing management with a gluten-free diet. However, symptoms may improve or disappear with strict adherence to the diet.

No, celiac disease cannot be detected through a skin test. The diagnosis primarily relies on blood tests and intestinal biopsy to confirm the presence of the disease.

Yes, cross-contamination is a significant concern for individuals with celiac disease. Even trace amounts of gluten from shared cooking surfaces, utensils, or toasters can trigger symptoms and intestinal damage.

Yes, individuals with celiac disease are more susceptible to experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Following a gluten-free diet and seeking support from healthcare professionals can help manage these concerns.

As celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder, it cannot be entirely prevented. However, early detection in at-risk individuals and adherence to a gluten-free diet can help manage the condition effectively.
