Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system reacts abnormally to gluten, leading to damage in the small intestine. In Mumbai, rising awareness has led to more patients seeking evaluation for persistent diarrhoea, bloating, and nutritional deficiencies that may indicate celiac disease.
At Dr. Harshad Joshi’s clinic, accurate diagnosis is made through blood tests, endoscopy, and biopsy of the small intestine. Once diagnosed, strict adherence to a gluten-free diet is the cornerstone of treatment. Clinical nutrition support ensures patients are educated on hidden gluten sources and guided on maintaining balanced nutrition.
Untreated celiac disease can lead to long-term complications like anaemia, osteoporosis, and infertility. Early diagnosis and consistent dietary management help patients regain health and prevent these risks.
For expert care and lifelong support in managing celiac disease, consult Dr. Harshad Joshi in Mumbai today.
