4. Weight Loss
Weight loss can be a symptom of celiac disease that leads to more long-term issues like fatigue and anemia. It is often due to the patient experiencing a loss of appetite due to digestive issues and upset stomachs, as well as struggles with constant trips to the restroom.2‘Symptoms of Celiac Disease.’ Celiac Disease Foundation, Celiac Disease Foundation, celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/symptoms-of-celiac-disease/.
Weight loss is usually one of the first symptoms to disappear once a gluten-free lifestyle is adopted, as symptoms that interrupt eating disappear. However, weight gain can also occur, as gluten-free diets contain more sugar.5Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS. ‘The Surprising Truth About Gluten-Free Food and Weight Loss.’ Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, 22 Dec. 2020, health.clevelandclinic.org/the-surprising-truth-about-gluten-free-food-and-weight-loss/.
