Why Is Celiac Testing Important?
-
Recognizing Symptoms: Celiac disease can cause a wide variety of symptoms, such as stomach upset, skin symptoms, weight loss and malnutrition. Many of the symptoms of celiac disease are similar to other diseases, such as lactose intolerance, so an accurate diagnosis is important.
-
Asymptomatic: Celiac disease can be asymptomatic for a long time or the symptoms can be so mild that they are not recognized. According to estimates, there are 20,000 to 30,000 people in Finland who do not know they have celiac disease.
-
Consequences of not treating it: Not treating celiac disease can lead to serious consequences, such as malabsorption of nutrients and long-term health problems.
