It may also be in other products like vitamins and supplements, hair and skin products, toothpastes, and lip balm.</p> <p>Celiac disease affects each person differently. Symptoms may occur in the digestive system, or in other parts of the body. One person might have diarrhea and abdominal pain, while another person may be irritable or depressed. Irritability is one of the most common symptoms in children. Some people have no symptoms.</p> <p>Celiac disease is genetic. Blood tests can help your doctor diagnose the disease. Your doctor may also need to examine a small piece of tissue from your small intestine. Treatment is a diet free of gluten. </p> <p class="">NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases</p> |
