Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition marked by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with celiac disease consumes gluten, the immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine, damaging the villi responsible for absorbing nutrients. It can lead to malabsorption, nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal symptoms, and long-term complications affecting bone health, neurological function, and more. With the right treatment and support, most people with celiac disease can heal their intestinal lining and live well.
Doctronic can support adults who have been diagnosed with celiac disease or who are experiencing symptoms consistent with gluten-related intestinal damage, including chronic diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, or signs of nutritional deficiency. Our physicians can help manage associated deficiencies and related GI symptoms.
Candidates for this service are adults 18 and older who have a confirmed or suspected history of celiac disease and are seeking support for complications such as iron-deficiency anemia, folate or vitamin D deficiency, osteopenia, or gastrointestinal symptoms. A thorough review of your GI history and current health status will guide our physicians in recommending appropriate care.
Celiac disease is caused by an abnormal immune response to gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. When gluten is ingested, the immune system mistakenly attacks the small intestinal lining, destroying the villi that absorb nutrients. Both genetic predisposition and environmental triggers play a role.
Symptoms vary widely and can include chronic diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, unintended weight loss, and mouth sores. Some people experience non-GI symptoms such as dermatitis herpetiformis (an itchy skin rash), bone or joint pain, headaches, brain fog, and signs of nutritional deficiency like anemia.
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests for specific antibodies, most commonly tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA). A small intestinal biopsy via upper endoscopy is usually performed to confirm damage to the intestinal lining. Genetic testing for HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 can help rule out the condition.
Yes, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet is the only proven treatment for celiac disease. Eliminating gluten allows the intestinal lining to heal and symptoms to resolve. Nutritional supplementation is often necessary to correct deficiencies caused by prior malabsorption.
Because celiac disease damages the small intestine where most nutrients are absorbed, deficiencies in iron, folate, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B12 are common. Your doctor can order labs to identify which deficiencies need to be addressed.
Yes. Untreated celiac disease can lead to osteoporosis, infertility, neurological problems such as peripheral neuropathy or cerebellar ataxia, increased risk of certain intestinal lymphomas, and persistent nutritional deficiencies. Early diagnosis and strict gluten avoidance significantly reduce these risks.
