The latest on gluten-free living: new findings about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shed light on how to better diagnose and treat each condition.(FOOD: GO GLUTEN FREE)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The picture of celiac disease is changing, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which affects considerably more people, Is gradually being acknowledged. What is being discovered about these two conditions is shifting so rapidly, it's difficult to keep up. Here are surprising recent findings about celiac disease:
* People diagnosed with celiac disease are more likely to have either no symptoms or symptoms that are atypical instead of the classic symptoms of diarrhea, weight loss, and malabsorption. In adults, some of the more common presenting symptoms are constipation, acid-reflux-type conditions, anemia, bone disease, or neurologic symptoms.
* Children older than 3 who are diagnosed with celiac disease are more likely to have nongastrointestinal conditions, including type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, Down syndrome, iron-defidency anemia, short stature, or mood disorders.
* Most people diagnosed with celiac disease are normal weight or overweight rather than underweight.
* Celiac disease is largely underdiagnosed. For each diagnosed case, there are five to 10 undiagnosed cases.
