Celiac disease
Celiac disease is a type of digestive tract with an autoimmune nature that affects the small intestine of the small intestine and disrupts food intake. People with celiac disease can not tolerate a protein called gluten, which can be found in wheat, barley, rye and possibly jujube. When patients with celiac disease eat gluten-containing foods, their immune system produces a response to the destruction of the small intestine. This destruction is caused, especially in the fingers of the intestines where the nutrients are absorbed inside them. Following infectious intestinal tract damage, it is malnourished regardless of the amount of food it eats. Because of its own immune system causing damage to small intestines, the disease is referred to as an autoimmune disease, and on the other hand, due to the fact that nutrients are not absorbed, it can be considered as a maladaptive disease. Take up
Celiac disease is a hereditary disease and is transmitted from one generation to the next. And if your close relative has celiac disease, your chances of being infected are 10 to 20 percent.
Its prevalence is 1% of the population. Celiac disease affects people in a different way. In a group of patients, symptoms develop from childhood, and in others in adulthood. Individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes, colitis and thyroid problems are more susceptible to celiac disease. One of the important factors that affects time and onset of the disease is the amount of time a person has fed breast milk. As long as this period is longer, symptoms appear later.
50% of people with celiac disease have no symptoms of bowel disease. In this case, the healthy part of the intestine is able to absorb enough nutrients to prevent the onset of symptoms. Despite this, they will continue to be at increased risk of developing celiac disease. Symptoms of celiac disease can be manifested as intestinal problems or malnutrition. Symptoms may appear digestive or non-digestive. For example, an individual may have diarrhea and abdominal pains, while the other person is irritable and depressed. In fact, irritability is one of the most common symptoms of celiac disease in children.
Abdominal repeat pains, chronic diarrhea in children (bulky and smelly), and occasional constipation in adults, weight loss, growth retardation and stomach failure, unexplained iron deficiency anemia, bloating and abdominal distension, bone pain, muscle contractions, fatigue, , Pain in the joints, seizure, needle puncture, painful mouth lesions, painful skin damage called herpty form, menstrual delay or irregularity of the menstrual period, delayed teeth growth
The malabsorption of vitamin D and calcium can lead to osteoporosis, bone softness, bone density and muscle contractions (tetani), a deficiency of vitamins A, D, E. Also soluble in fat.
Typically, celiac disease is difficult to diagnose, because some of its symptoms are similar to symptoms of other diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, wound colitis, diverticulosis, small intestinal infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression.
Recent studies have shown that levels of specific antibodies in the blood of people with celiac disease are higher than normal. These antibodies are produced by the immune system of the individual in response to compounds that harm the body. Thus, for the diagnosis of celiac disease, physicians measure the level of antibodies that are sensitive to gluten, these antibodies are antiglyadine and antiandomising.
Following an endorsement of celiac disease by laboratory results and symptoms, the physician may examine a small portion of the small intestine during endoscopy to determine the extent of damage to the small intestine. Small-bowel sampling is the best way to detect celiac disease.
Screening for a patient with celiac disease is a method by which asymptomatic individuals can be identified. In these people, celiac disease antibodies have been diagnosed. Which should be tested and reviewed. The statistics show that about 10% of the first-degree relatives of patients, such as parents and their children, have celiac disease. It should be noted that the longer the duration of diagnosis and treatment of the disease will be, the greater the chance of disease progression, malnutrition and associated illness.
