It can be a problem to detect celiac disease for its symptoms are likely to be overlooked and besides, they resemble the symptoms of other diseases.

The cause of celiac disease is gluten, a protein that is contained in food and food ingredients made with wheat, rye or barley. Gluten injures the small intestine’s lining and affects absorption of nutrients. You will get health complications as soon as your body does not receive sufficient amount of nutrients.

The classic symptoms of celiac disease include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating. However, these are more common for children. Adults do not always experience them. In some cases they can suffer from headaches, fatigue and joint pain. In another they can notice weight gain or loss, depression, hair loss, despite the fact that such symptoms are rarely found with gut-related diseases.

Since the symptoms are numerous and vary with each person, doctors often get mistaken with a diagnose or unable to diagnose at all.

But if not diagnosed and treated in a proper time, celiac disease can result in malnutrition and bone problems such as osteoporosis, which is connected with the gut’s bad absorption of calcium and vitamin D. One of the possible complications is infertility. You can also develop digestive cancer and other autoimmune disorders, including thyroid disease.

Fortunately, diagnosing celiac disease has become easier recently. Thus, there is the Biocard™ Celiac Test Kit that enables you to carry out a test at home to measure your body’s immune response to gluten using just a fingertip blood sample.

However, even though this simple and easy to take blood test provides you with big certainty that you are developing celiac disease or already have one in case your test is positive, there is still an urgent need to visit a doctor in order to get his confirmation.
