Celiac Post Script

Published by Brad at 5:00 pm under The Miscellany, Uncategorized

It turns out that while at least 1 in 150 Americans have Celiac, it is hard to diagnose due wildly unrelated symptoms, many of which are often mistakenly attributed to other diseases or ailments. Celiac – left untreated – could lead to infertility, osteoporosis, lymphoma, depression & neurological disorders. Celiac disease is more common in individuals with type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease or anemia. Next time you have a check up, have the doctor run a Celiac serology if you feel you are susceptible — unfortunately, if you are related to me, or have any of the above conditions, you’re susceptible.
