Signs of celiac disease begin to show not only in childhood patterns, but can also develop at more mature ages. What causes celiac disease is often linked to hereditary reasons, certain genetic disorders, and autoimmune disease. Some indicators can include anemia, bad liver function, autoimmune thyroid disease, Down syndrome, Microscopic colitis (colon inflammation), and Turner Sydrome (an incomplete sex chromosome).
What is celiac disease? Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by an inappropriate immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, and to related dietary proteins in rye and barley. This response leads to inflammation of the small intestine and to damage and destruction of the villi that line the intestinal wall.
