In this case, intestinal epithelial cells can be destroyed, so that a nutrient uptake is only possible to a limited extent.

The severity and severity of the disease can be very different, making diagnosis difficult. Symptoms of celiac disease include diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, underweight, fatigue and depression. The treatment of celiac disease is done by a gluten-free diet, the affected person must comply permanently. (Ag)
