This is a very under diagnosed disease because the symptoms are so varied. Until recently, only persons were diagnosed with Celiac Disease who presented with the most severe gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and weight loss.

Currently, Celiac Disease experts advise that all the listed SIDE EFFECTS, ASSOCIATED AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS and the FAMILY HISTORY should be considered diagnosis.
