What are the tests for coeliac disease?

Let’s see what happens to our organism when gluten or celiac intolerance develops.
A series of factors alarm us, especially in adulthood as we already have a well-established lifestyle and type of nutrition.
Before taking these tests it is important that the patient maintains his dietary habits, unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor. For example, if you stop eating foods containing gluten, you may be falsely negative to the tests used for the diagnosis of coeliac disease, and then appear healthy despite the disease.

What happens if I don’t cure celiac disease?

Coeliac disease has no cure other than a change in diet. Once gluten is removed from the diet, the inflammation of the small intestine will cease within a few weeks.
Due to bowel damage caused by gluten, digestion of foods that do not contain it can also cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some people with coeliac disease, for example, are unable to tolerate the sugar contained in milk (lactose) found in dairy products, a condition called lactose intolerance.
