Stomach distention is a common complaint that many people suffer from. Most of the time it may be a slight bloating that does not cause any concern, but it may indicate something more serious, including celiac disease, which is inflammation of the small intestine and then the inability to absorb nutrients, This is mainly caused by the gluten found in wheat, barley, sauces, ready meals and other foods, according to "express".
A study published in the US National Library of Medicine on the causes of chronic diarrhea in celiac patients, found that the majority of celiac patients suffer from diarrhea before diagnosis, which disappears in some patients after treatment with a gluten-free diet.
The study also showed that although the continuous consumption of gluten is one of the possible causes of chronic diarrhea in patients with celiac disease, avoiding eating it may not treat chronic diarrhea in some cases, as celiac disease is dangerous because it attacks the immune system of the body, and it may result from it. Damage to the intestinal lining means that the body is not able to properly absorb the nutrients from food.
The following are symptoms of celiac disease, ranging from mild to severe, which differ from person to person, depending on the nature of the condition:
1- Stomach distention caused by excessive eating of foods containing gluten.
2- Abdominal pain.
3- Indigestion.
4- Diarrhea.
5- Constipation.
6- Nausea.
7- Mouth ulcers.
8- sudden weight loss.
9- Anemia.
There are many healthy and useful foods that you can eat if you suffer from celiac disease because they are free of gluten, the main cause of them, such as meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, rice, potatoes, lentils and others.
