Symptoms of Celiac Disease

It can be difficult to diagnose individuals with celiac disease, because everyone experiences celiac disease differently. There are over 200 types of symptoms related to celiac disease. Which may be in the digestive system or other parts of the body. Some people can develop celiac disease as a child, and some as adults. There still are no scientific evidence as to why this happens.

Silent Celiac Disease
Silent celiac disease is also known as asymptomatic celiac disease. Some people may show no symptoms at all, but still have damage to the smaller intestine. Long-term complications could happen not staying on the gluten-free diet, so people with silent celiac disease may find it difficult to remain on the diet. After staying on the gluten-free diet silent celiac disease patients report better health.
