Several people over the world are affected by Coeliac. However this is a disease which affects people belonging to some particular geographical locations, rather than other areas. When a person is suffering from Coeliac disease there is a reaction when gluten comes into contact with the lining of the small bowel. The tiny finger like objects that are contained in the small bowel are attacked by the immune system and are finally destroyed. As a result of this the nutrients from the food that the patient consumes goes down without it being absorbed. This causes diarrhea, deficiencies of vitamins and minerals. This can also cause osteoporosis and anemia. Coeliac can affect both women and men. People whose family members suffer form Coeliac also have a very strong chance of suffering from this disease.
Coeliac can be identified by a variety of symptoms and interestingly the symptoms are different for children and adults. However some common factors in both children and adults suffering from Coelia are vomiting and diarrhea. In addition to this is the problem of irritability and an inability to gain weight. People suffering from Coelia also complain of a lack of appetite. These people also have swollen stomachs. Their stools are pale and bulky and they have a nasty smell. When adults have Coeliac they are unable to move their bowels and they have bloating of the stomach. In addition to this they are a prey to gas.
