- Digestive Symptoms
- Celiac disease normally creates symptoms in the digestive system, including a bloating feeling in the abdomen accompanied by abdominal pain. You may also experience sporadic bouts of diarrhea and abdominal cramping.
- In some cases, even though celiac disease is a digestive condition, you may not experience digestive symptoms. some symptoms of celiac disease are associated with the brain and nervous system. Symptoms may include irritability and signs of depression at unexpected moments. there also may be a tingling in the hands and feet that is commonly associated with other neurological conditions. because of the tendency for celiac disease to cause these kinds of symptoms, it is sometimes misdiagnosed as a brain or nerve condition.
- A person suffering from celiac disease can have a series of seemingly unrelated symptoms that have to do with energy and appetite, such as a craving for food. even with an increased intake of food, a person with celiac disease may suffer from fatigue and possibly dehydration. The appetite symptom could also go the other way, resulting in no appetite and possible weight loss.
- Celiac disease can also show itself as symptoms found in and around the mouth. Sores may begin to appear in the roof of the mouth and on the outside of the mouth. Cracks begin to appear in the skin, and the enamel on the teeth begin to weaken. Teeth become sensitive and the tongue may begin to look smooth, as though it were losing its taste buds.
- A person suffering from celiac disease may start to show pale or pasty colored skin and have the tendency to bruise easily. there may be red rashes that appear at random spots on the skin, and these rashes can be extremely itchy.
