Celiac Disease & Gluten Sensitivity
Autoimmune wheat allergy testing, duodenal biopsy, and clinical dietitian gluten-free guidance.
Condition Overview & Pathology
Celiac Disease (Wheat Allergy) is an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) damages tiny finger-like villi lining the small intestine.
Damaged villi impair nutrient absorption, leading to chronic diarrhea, anemia, weight loss, growth stunting in children, and physical fatigue.
Care Hospital diagnoses celiac disease using IgA anti-tTG blood antibody testing and endoscopic duodenal tissue biopsy, providing customized gluten-free dietary plans.
