The primary treatment for celiac disease is diet, specifically a gluten-free diet to reduce the symptoms of the condition. Common symptoms can include diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting, as well as other symptoms. If you believe that you may have celiac disease, consult your doctor before going on a gluten-free diet.
Children with celiac disease are more likely than adults to experience gastrointestinal symptoms. Adults are more likely to have digestive symptoms including bloating, abdominal pain, and stomach ulcers, as well as other symptoms including anemia, depression or anxiety, dermatitis herpetiformis, headaches, infertility, and joint pain. Diarrhea is considered one of the most common and distressing symptoms. Research has shown that following a gluten-free diet can improve diarrhea and other symptoms in most patients.
Some individuals with celiac disease may continue to have symptoms even after going on a diet. For some, continuing to consume gluten accidentally might be the problem. But, for others, a registered dietitian nutritionist can provide further guidance on how to follow a gluten-free diet.
