Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten triggers inflammation and damage in the small intestine. Dr. Harshad Joshi provides specialized diagnosis and management of celiac disease in Mumbai.
Common symptoms include bloating, gas, weight loss, and chronic diarrhoea, but some patients may have no obvious signs, making diagnosis challenging. Celiac disease often mimics other digestive issues like IBS or Crohn’s disease.
Diagnosis involves blood tests to detect specific antibodies, followed by an intestinal biopsy. Once confirmed, the primary treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. Clinical nutrition support becomes essential to manage nutrient deficiencies and ensure a healthy recovery.
Left untreated, celiac disease can lead to complications like osteoporosis, infertility, and neurological issues. Early diagnosis and strict dietary adherence are key to long-term health.
If you suspect celiac disease or suffer from unexplained gut issues, consult Dr. Harshad Joshi in Mumbai for accurate testing and support.
