Celiac disease is an illness caused by an intolerance to gluten, a substance found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. When a person with this intolerance eats these foods, a protein in gluten called gliadin causes a reaction that results in damage to the intestinal wall. This in turn leads to an inability to absorb most nutrients and eventually to malnutrition.
This condition can first appear either in childhood or adulthood, and symptoms can be mild or severe. It is believed to be inherited, although some people begin to show signs of it only after surgery on the stomach. In severe cases, there are symptoms such as weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting in addition to anemia, muscle-wasting, and other problems resulting from nutritional deficiencies. Fluid may accumulate in the tissues of the legs and feet. In children, growth may be severely retarded. Softening of the bones can develop in the later stages of this illness.
Some people experience no abdominal symptoms but do develop signs of nutritional deficiencies. Such cases are more difficult to diagnose, but once a correct diagnosis is made, the condition can usually be managed successfully.
