What are the symptoms of Celiac's disease?

Answer 1

I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was four years old. Although I have grown up learning to say no to food that I didn't know what the ingredient list was, occasionally I eat wheat, malt or barley by accident or contamination. Some symptoms that I experience are; tingling fingers, diarrhea, cramps, passing gas, and nightmares. Many times I have woken up the morning after I had come in contact and family members have said they hear me crying or screaming in my sleep and that is how I know that I have come in contact. The next day is when you experience most or all of the other symptoms. Hope this helps anyone that may think that they are a celiac. Also if you live in Canada there are many Celiac Association meetings where they discuss celiac disease.

Answer 2

Celiac disease is difficult to detect because of the wide array of symptoms, however things you should be looking for include fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and irritability. For children, you should also pay attention to any problems with your child's growth and development, decreased appetite, and malnourishment. A bloated abdomen and skinny thighs are a sign of malnutrition. A good way to test for celiac disease is to cut out gluten from your diet for two or three weeks and see if your son feels better.

Answer 3

Some of the symptoms of Celiac disease are quite vague. The most common symptoms are various digestive problems which include bloating, gas, pale stools and weight loss.
