What could cause damage and destruction of the villi of the small intestine other than celiac disease?
I am not sure but I too would like to know. If and when you do find out could you post it? I have been diagnosed Celiac and have been on the diet for a while now and still don't feel better at all. I almost feel worse. Anyways let me know if you find the answer somewhere else.
Thanks,

There is actually no cause of celiac disease. It is in your genes. It is by another family member that has celiac disease. Doesn't mean that your definitely going to have it, it just means that there might be a case that your going to get it.
What kind of diagnosis is used to check for celiac disease?
First you need to do a blood test to see if you have it or not then you go to a gestoralogist doctor and then you do a biopsy to see if there is any damage in the small intestine
How celiac disease interrupts the normal transportation of energy and other nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system?
Celiac disease causes an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small intestine, specifically the villi, which are responsible for nutrient absorption. This damage impairs the intestine's ability to effectively transport energy and nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, into the bloodstream. As a result, individuals with celiac disease may experience malnutrition, weight loss, and various gastrointestinal symptoms due to the reduced absorption of essential nutrients.
Can you have celiac disease and not be allergic to gluten?
My friend is gluten free and she says, ''Well it doesn't make you ill it just gives you a painful stomach ache.''it can have effects on you later on in life as the smallest amount of gluten can damage the small intestine
What is gluten protein and how does it affect individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease?
Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease have adverse reactions when they consume gluten. In celiac disease, the immune system attacks the small intestine when gluten is ingested, leading to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining. This can cause various symptoms such as digestive issues, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. In gluten sensitivity, individuals may experience similar symptoms but without the autoimmune response seen in celiac disease.
Can damage villi repair themselves?
Yes, the damage to villi in the small intestine can repair themselves over time. This process can be facilitated by removing the trigger of the damage, such as in the case of celiac disease where following a gluten-free diet can allow the villi to heal. It is important to follow medical advice and treatment recommendations to support the healing process.
Could chemo and radiation cause celiac disease?
Chemotherapy and radiation do not directly cause celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. However, these treatments can damage the intestines and disrupt the gut microbiome, potentially leading to gastrointestinal symptoms that may mimic or exacerbate celiac disease. It's important for patients undergoing such treatments to monitor their symptoms and consult healthcare providers for appropriate testing if celiac disease is suspected.
What is damage to the small intestine?
Damage to the small intestine refers to injury or harm affecting its structure and function, which can result from various causes such as infections, inflammatory diseases (like Crohn's disease), celiac disease, or physical trauma. This damage can lead to symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, malabsorption of nutrients, and weight loss. Depending on the severity, it may require medical intervention, including dietary changes, medications, or surgery. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to restore intestinal health and prevent complications.
What is the best way to get a celiac disease test?
Yes. Children can get Celiac Disease at any age. A child can have Celiakc Disease when there born. Adults and Children and teenagers can get it. Even grandparents. At any age you can get Celiac Disease.
What is the medical term meaning inherited autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten intolerance?
The medical term is "celiac disease." It is an inherited autoimmune disorder where the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, causing damage to the lining of the small intestine. This can lead to digestive issues and malabsorption of nutrients.
