Celiac disease

1. Celiac Disease

2. Defination Celiac disease is a chronic digestive and immune disorder that damages the small intestine. The disease is triggered by eating foods containing gluten. The disease can cause long-lasting digestive problems and keeps the body from getting all the nutrients it needs.

3. When someone with celiac disease eats something with gluten, their body over reacts to the protein and damages their villi, small finger-like projections found along the wall of their small intestine. When villi are injured, small intestine can’t properly absorb nutrients from food.

4. Symptoms of celiac disease Symptoms of celiac disease vary widely, and a person may have multiple symptoms that come and go. Celiac disease may give digestive problems or other symptoms. Digestive symptoms are more common in children than in adults. Digestive symptoms of celiac disease may include Bloating Chronic diarrhoea Constipation Gas Lactose intolerance due to damage to the small intestine Loose, greasy, bulky, and bad-smelling stools Nausea or vomiting Pain in the abdomen

5. Tropical Sprue Tropical sprue is  a malabsorption syndrome characterized by chronic diarrhoea, weight loss, and malabsorption of nutrients. OR Tropical sprue is caused by inflammation of intestines. This swelling makes it more difficult to absorb nutrients from food. This is also called malabsorption .  Tropical sprue makes it particularly difficult to absorb folic acid and vitamin b12. It occurs in travellers to the tropical regions or the natives of the tropics. To avoid the complications and morbidity associated with this condition, it must be promptly diagnosed and treated.

6. Symptoms Symptoms of tropical sprue may include any of the following: Abdominal cramps Diarrhoea, which may get worse on a high-fat diet Excessive gas Indigestion Irritability Muscle cramps Numbness Paleness Weight loss

7. Irritable bowel syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of symptoms that occur together, including repeated pain in your abdomen and changes in bowel movements, which may be diarrhoea, constipation, or both.  Or IBS is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. Functional GI disorders, which doctors now call disorders of gut-brain interactions, are related to problems with how brain and gut work together. These problems can cause gut to be more sensitive and change how the muscles in bowel contract. If gut is more sensitive, may feel more abdominal pain and bloating. Changes in how the muscles in bowel contract lead to diarrhoea, constipation, or both.

8. Symptoms The most common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are pain in abdomen, often related to bowel movements, and changes in bowel movements. These changes may be diarrhoea, constipation, or both, depending on type of IBS . Other symptoms of IBS may include; Bloating The feeling that you haven’t finished a bowel movement Whitish mucus in your stool Women with IBS often have more symptoms during their periods.

9. IBS can be painful but doesn’t lead to other health problems or damage digestive tract. To diagnose IBS , doctor will look for a certain pattern in symptoms over time. IBS is a chronic disorder, meaning it lasts a long time, often years. However, the symptoms may come and go.

10. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term that describes disorders involving long-standing (chronic) inflammation of tissues in digestive tract. Types of IBD include: Ulcerative colitis.  This condition involves inflammation and sores (ulcers) along the lining of large intestine (colon) and rectum. Crohn's disease.   ( Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation of the GI tract, which extends from stomach all the way down to anus.) This type of IBD is characterized by inflammation of the lining of digestive tract, which often can involve the deeper layers of the digestive tract. Crohn's disease most commonly affects the small intestine. However, it can also affect the large intestine and uncommonly, the upper gastrointestinal tract.

11. Symptoms IBD symptoms can come and go. They may be mild or severe, and they may appear suddenly or come on gradually.  IBD symptoms include: Abdominal (belly) pain. Diarrhoea  (sometimes alternating with constipation) or urgent need to poop (bowel urgency ). Gas  and bloating. Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss. Mucus or blood in stool. Upset stomach.

12. Rarely, IBD may also cause: Fatigue. Fever. Itchy , red, painful eyes. Joint pain. Nausea and vomiting. Skin rashes and sores (ulcers ). Vision problems.
