Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s Esther Israel, MD, Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology, talks about the signs and symptoms of kids with Celiac Disease. Affected kids may be cranky; They can have diarrhea or be constipated; They may suffer from poor weight gain and abdominal pain; Or they may have other issues.
Body aches, joint aches, fatigue, depression, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and weight gain are the most common symptoms of gluten intolerance. Aram and Ruben share their wisdom.
There are 4 types of Celiac Disease, characterized by their differing presentation of symptoms: “Typical,” “Atypical,” “Slient,” and “Latent.” In sum, the symptoms can range from severe digestive problems (including bloating & diarrhea) to joint pain, migraine headaches, anemia, & skin conditions, to NO discomforting symptoms whatsoever.
Celiac disease people can suffer greatly from eating gluten which is common in anything containing grain. Headaches, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, joint pains, muscle loss, the pains go on! Symptoms vary and some sufferers mistake the disease for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), malnutrition, continual bad gas.
