Causes of Celiac Disease
The exact causes of celiac disease are not yet known; however, as explained in this portion of the eMedTV library, scientists have identified specific genes that appear to play a role in causing celiac disease.
Celiac Desease
Celiac disease, as this page of the eMedTV archives explains, is a condition that damages the small intestine. The disease involves an intolerance for gluten, a protein found in some grains. Celiac desease is a common misspelling of celiac disease.
Celiac Disease
People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and other foods. This eMedTV article takes a look at this disorder, including the damage it can cause in the body, symptoms that may occur, and how it can be treated.
Celiac Disease and Osteoporosis
As explained in this eMedTV segment, there is a relationship between celiac disease and osteoporosis -- untreated celiac disease can cause osteoporosis. This article explains how celiac disease may lead to osteoporosis and discusses good bone health.
Celiac Disease Diagnosis
As this eMedTV segment explains, diagnosing celiac disease often involves blood tests and a biopsy. Diagnosing this disease can be difficult because its symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses, such as Crohn's disease.
