Celiac
disease, also known as celiac sprue, non-tropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy,
is a condition in which consuming gluten — a protein found in wheat, rye,
barley, and some other grains — leads, in susceptible people, to damage to the
lining of the small intestine, resulting in the inability to properly absorb
nutrients into the body. This can lead to many different symptoms, including
fatigue, malaise (feeling generally poorly), bloating, and diarrhea.
Left
untreated or insufficiently treated, celiac disease can lead to damage to other
organs. If properly treated, celiac disease typically leads to absolutely
nothing! In your travels, you may see the word celiac spelled as coeliac. Both
terms refer to the same condition. Celiac is the spelling far more commonly
used in North America. Incidentally, the term celiac (or coeliac) comes from
the Greek word Koila, which refers to the abdomen.
Doctors
have known about celiac disease for a long time. Articles describing individuals
suffering from diarrhea (most likely due to what we now call celiac disease)
first appeared over two thousand years ago. It was, however, Dr. Samuel Gee
who, in London, England in 1887, first described the condition in detail and
even presciently observed that successful therapy was to be found in changing a
patient’s diet.
Living
and Thriving with Celiac Disease
Although
people living with celiac disease share many similar challenges, differences exist
for some people based on age, living condition (home or in a college dorm for
instance), and special circumstances such as attempting to conceive, or being
pregnant.
Perhaps
it’s been some time since you were diagnosed with celiac disease and you are
nicely on track with your gluten-free existence. What then? Do you need to be
monitored for celiac disease-related health issues? If so, how should the
monitoring be done? Better ways of managing celiac disease may emerge in the
future. Indeed, there may come a time when you may not need to follow a
gluten-free diet. There are and other possible options for dealing with celiac
disease that may come about someday.
