The Most Common Symptoms Of Coeliac Disease


Coeliac disease is a serious medical condition in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged by the consumption of gluten. If left undiagnosed and untreated, it can have serious ramifications like malnutrition, infertility, osteoporosis, depression and cancer.
The nature and severity of symptoms varies considerably from person to person, with some sufferers experiencing intense reactions to minuscule amounts of gluten while others notice nothing abnormal. However it's important to note that the severity of symptoms is not indicative of the damage caused by the disease, even asymptomatic sufferers are at the same risk of complications.
These are the most common signs you might have coeliac disease:
  • Gastrointestinal issues like diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, flatulence or abdominal pain.
  • Pale, foul-smelling, or fatty stool
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Iron deficiency anaemia and/or other nutritional deficiencies
  • Recurrent mouth ulcers
  • Unexplained weight loss or gain
  • Bone and joint pain
  • Swelling of mouth or tongue
  • Delayed growth or delayed puberty
  • Irritability 
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Skin rashes like dermatitis herpetiformis
  • Osteoporosis or osteopenia 
If you’ve noticed one or more of these symptoms in yourself, do not self-diagnose. Diagnosis of coeliac disease requires a special blood test and a gastroscopy to assess bowel damage. If these assessments are to be accurate you must not adopt a gluten free diet beforehand. There is no cure for coeliac disease, but it can be managed by a lifelong gluten free diet.

The Foods You Need to Avoid to Keep Your Skin Clear

It's not necessarily greasy foods that are the culprits. It was an old wives’ tale worthy of medical research. Researchers managed to prove way back in 1969 that your chocolate noshing wasn’t causing you to break out, and that was a relief. In fact, science has since proven that certain foods can get rid of your acne. But that’s not to say that said old wives weren’t on to  something  because what you eat really does make a detrimental difference when it comes to your complexion,  according to Men’s Health. A study  published in the  Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ventured to figure out exactly what the problematic pimple-causing foods were. The research involved two groups of 32 participants; one group had clear skin, the other had moderate-to-severe acne. Each group was asked to complete a five-day food diary and then get blood work done. Of all the participants, 61 percent believed that their diets were affect...

Ida Lundgren and Bianca Van Damme Could Easily Kick Your Butt!

If there were ever two fathers whose daughters would be genetically programmed to kick butt, those would be Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren – two of the most badass actors-slash-martial-artists of our time. They have both taught their little daughters how to defend themselves and look fantastic while doing it. Let’s look at Dolph and Ida first Just like Dolph’s character in Rocky IV, Ivan Drago, his 21-year-old daughter Ida was asked to show off her amazing skills on the boxing ring as well. And, boy, did she deliver! In this photoshoot for Muscle&Fitness, Dolph is probably showing Ida some secret moves and teaches her about the weak spots and how important the footwork is. Maybe he even told her how to beat Sylvester Stallone. Or maybe I’m imagining thing. These days Ida is an aspiring young model, but she’s got a long way to go to be as popular as her dad. She may look like a frail girl most of the time, but don’t let her cute looks fool you! Ida can and...

Fortnite's Greasy Grove Treasure Map: Where To Find The Treasure

There's a new treasure map available in  Fortnite: Battle Royale.  This time you'll find the map tucked away in Greasy Grove as one of Season 4, Week 5's challenges. This is the first time during Season 4 for the challenges to drop on Thursday morning rather than Tuesday morning. The Greasy Grove treasure map comes on the heels of yesterday's v4.3 update. If you want to find the treasure this week, you can either head to Greasy Grove and search for the map, or you can read this guide which will lead you right to it. If you look closely you'll see this image almost resembles a face. Turn it so that the compass is facing north and you'll see it's the Evil Lair near Snobby Shores. The nefarious base, which was added as part of Season 4's mysterious villains vs superheroes theme, is just to the north-east of Snobby Shores, and the treasure itself can be found right on the outside 'nose.' Grab the treasure and you'll add 10...
