Symptoms and Diagnosis of Celiac Disease
Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder, manifests symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, and malabsorption due to damage to the small intestine. Diagnosing celiac involves serologic tests checking for antibodies against proteins like TTG, along with biopsies for confirmation. A gluten-free diet is the primary treatment, though mucosal healing doesn't occur in all cases.
