Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system reacts to gluten, damaging the small intestine. This leads to symptoms such as chronic diarrhoea, bloating, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. Long-term complications can include osteoporosis, anaemia, and infertility.
In Mumbai, Dr. Harshad Joshi provides comprehensive diagnosis and management for celiac disease. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests for specific antibodies and an endoscopic biopsy to assess intestinal damage.
The cornerstone of treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. Dr. Joshi works closely with clinical nutritionists to ensure patients avoid gluten while still receiving all essential nutrients. Education and dietary planning play a crucial role in preventing accidental gluten exposure and improving gut healing.
Early diagnosis and proper management help patients regain energy, restore nutrient absorption, and prevent long-term health issues.
