Celiac DiseaseCeliac disease, also known as celiac sprue, is an immunologic disorder in which
gluten, a product most commonly found in grains, causes damage to the small
intestine. The villi of the small intestine are damaged due to the body’s
immunologic response to the digestion of gluten
Sign and Symptoms of celiac disease:
Diarrhea
Steatorrhea (fatty stools)
Constipation
Failure to thrive or weight loss
Abdominal distention or bloating
Poor muscle tone
Irritability and listlessness
Dental disorders
Anemia
Delayed onset of puberty or amenorrhea
Nutritional deficiencies
Diagnosis
Autotissue transglutaminase IgA is a first-line test, and the most sensitive; yet if the
result is negative, the antiendomysium IgA test is specific for celiac disease
Nursing management
The child must adhere to a strict gluten-free diet for his or her entire life
Provide educational materials and resources to the parents.
