Over the past few years, the medical community has finally come around to the fact that many people with Celiac Disease don’t have the common symptoms that doctors used to look for.
Recently The Savvy Celiac took a community survey of symptoms which lead to diagnosis of Celiac Disease, and today they shared the survey results. The survey was actually broken down into two sections: children symptoms and adult symptoms.
Here are the results with the most common symptoms on top:
Children Symptoms with Celiac Disease
- Diarrhea
- Failure to Thrive
- Distended Belly
- Stomach Pain
- Vomiting
- Fatigue
- Constipation
Adult Symptoms with Celiac Disease
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Stomach Pain
- Anemia
- Nausea
- Asymptomatic
- Weight Loss
- Constipation
They are definitely interesting results, though they were taken from a very small sample (68 people), so it should be used for informational purposes only. Click here to read their post announcing the survey results.
