What Is a Celiac?
6. Doctor Visit Recommended
It is important to take symptoms of celiac seriously. If you experience any of the above symptoms for more than two weeks, consult your doctor. Should you have a child who is irritable, pale and not growing, or who has a distended belly and bulky stools that smell foul, make an appointment with the pediatrician as soon as possible.
Maintain your current diet until you are seen by a physician. Changing your diet, especially removing or reducing gluten, can alter the results of testing and lead to a misdiagnosis. If you have a family member with celiac, you may want to consult your physician about testing you for the disease.
