Do you suspect that you or someone in your family has celiac disease and maybe you or they should give up gluten? Symptoms of undiagnosed or insufficiently treated celiac disease can vary greatly in their nature and number (including having no symptoms at all), but some symptoms are more common than others.
If you have one or more of the following symptoms — especially if persisting and/or severe — speak to your doctor about the possibility you that have celiac disease:
Gastrointestinal symptoms, especially
Diarrhea
Stools that are bulky, foul-smelling, and stick to the toilet bowl
Abdominal bloating, especially after meals
Indigestion, reflux, heartburn
Unexplained or unexpected weight loss
Small, intensely itchy, pinkish blisters on the elbows, knees, or buttocks (less often on the shoulders, scalp, face, and back). This may indicate a skin disease, very closely related to celiac disease, called dermatitis herpetiformis
In a child, failure to grow and develop normally
