Manage episode 438732427 series 3574458
Did you know that coeliac disease affects 1 in 100 people worldwide, yet only 30% are properly diagnosed? In this episode, I'll explain what coeliac disease is, who is at risk, and why thorough testing and diagnosis are so important.
In this episode, I discuss:
- Common signs and symptoms and why many are not related to the gut;
- The prevalence of coeliac disease;
- Three important tests for coeliac disease;
- Why an accurate diagnosis is crucial;
- Why symptoms in children are different from adults;
- The link between autoimmune conditions and coeliac disease;
- Why testing in children under 3 is not recommended;
If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the symptoms discussed in this episode, it might be time to get tested for coeliac disease. And if you found this episode helpful, please share it with others who might benefit!
