Celiac Disease 101: Everything You Need To Know
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2022
- Recent studies and advances in diagnosis show that at least 3 million Americans, or about 1 in 133 people have celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that affects the lining of the small intestine, commonly caused by the body's inability to properly process gluten. But it is also estimated that less than 1 in 5 of those living with Celiac disease are ever diagnosed. We welcome back Dr. Neil Nandi, with The American College of Gastroenterology's Patient Care Committee, to discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, testing, and treatment for celiac disease, as well as the role of gluten in your diet and why you may want to reconsider a gluten-free diet if you don't have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

How can an elevation in liver enzymes be caused by Celiac disease?
Great conversation thank you both!!
Thank you for your feedback.
I got tested when I was diagnosed for Hashimotos back in 2012. I got a “weak positive” for antigliadin and TTG was around 7. They said I was fine, but I started getting bloating really bad in 2020 so I cut it out. Recently had gluten while traveling and felt fine so I had more, now I’m back to feeling awful and bloated. I have one of the genes and wanted to get another blood test next week at the doctor but I don’t think I can keep eating it. 😅
Very great
I was diagnosted very very late, about I have already big Problems and searching for help. Is there a possibility to speak with someone?
Very well presented. I am a dietetics student and this covers all the necessary points.
What about itchy scalp and skin, anyone else experience this ?
I do. And I get a rash on my cheeks
Yes!!!! Itchy scalp
This was a very informative and helpful discussion to help those that may suspect Celiac, or have Celiac to navigate some of these challenging steps. Many thanks and blessings to you both for your time, and great discussion/tips.
Thank you for you comments.
Is Dr. Nandi taking new patients (Nov 2023)? Can you provide contact information please?
Hi here is a link to his practice at Penn www.pennmedicine.org/providers/profile/neilanjan-nandi
They say people lose weight. I have gained weight. I have had diarrhea only 3 times since diagnosed, it depends on how much gluten i had. I eat a handful of nuts in the morning so i can take my vitamins which i take a bunch daily to make up for not being able to absorb it, figure maybe id get at least some extra in there. I have noticed that since i was diagnosed in 2019, my hair had become brittle at the ends woth breakage. My hair grows, but breaks at the end not allowing my hair to get longer. Is there anything to help with this? Im assuming this is because i may be deficient in some vitamin or nutrient. I use coconut oil on my hair practically drenched in it before i wash my hair and it makes it less dry when i style it and less breakage. I have schambergs disease on one leg not sure if this could be a symptom of celiac though. My nutritionist told me to take glutamine to help heal the villi, other than that i dont know why im gaining weight or how to stop the breakage in my hair.
Definitely work with a celiac disease knowledgeable dietitian! They can help you with everything that you may be dealing with after going gluten free, including vitamins and nutrients you may be missing on a gluten-free diet. I gained almost 30 lbs because I was so malnourished before my celiac disease diagnosis! You're not alone!
Autoimmune diseases can mean other autoimmune diseases. Have you had your thyroid tested? ?hashimotos
@suzannewhittaker2280 They did test for thyroid abd hashimotos, and Vitamin deficiency. I take calcium and many others but the only thing they told me was I am in early stages or have signs of osteoporosis. They used a term for it, like I dont have it but enough showed up in above test that I could get it.
👍👍
Gluten free is better for you, nature never developed processed food, you can eat very healthy and be Gluten free, I haven't been tested and have a bunch of symptoms and so far Gluten free is stopping those symptoms I don't want get sick to be tested easier to just go gluten free and eat healthy with varied natural foods.
Thank you for your comment and sharing your story. While this approach may be working for you, going gluten free may not be right for everyone.
We appreciate your posting this as it raises a common question, "Should I follow a gluten-free diet if I don't have celiac disease?"
I wanted to take a moment to provide some additional insight for this community.
Most experts recommend that people who don’t have celiac disease or gastrointestinal irritation, remove highly processed foods from the diet before removing gluten. They suggest adding more fruits, vegetables, whole-grain bread or pasta, and lean proteins. Many people find they feel better just by eating better, not by removing gluten. See this article from John Hopkins. www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/celiac-disease/what-is-a-glutenfree-diet
Yes, a gluten-free diet is necessary for celiac disease, wheat intolerance, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Autoimmune and other digestive conditions my also benefit but research isn’t conclusive about the general health benefits of it. See this evidence-based article
www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-gluten-bad
We encourage people to speak with healthcare provider/registered dietitian before eliminating all gluten. If gluten is completely cut out of the diet, there’s a risk of nutritional deficiencies and you will be missing the benefits of nutritious whole grains, fiber and micronutrients. Getting enough whole grains in your diet is especially important if you’re at risk for heart disease or diabetes.
