Part 5 Of 12 Part Series: Musculoskeletal (Rickets, Osteomalacia, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, And Myopathies) Symptoms In Undiagnosed Celiac Disease
This is the fifth in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, musculoskeletal symptoms will be discussed. In many with undiagnosed CD, the intestinal villi, responsible for absorbing nutrients, becomes damaged, creating a flattened mucosal surface (villous flattening) that is less able to absorb nutrients. Autoimmune reactions to ingested gluten cross-react with intestinal villi and create this damage. Various nutrient deficiencies can occur and this, along with inflammation and other autoimmune factors, can lead to various musculoskeletal symptoms (1,2,3,4).

Part 3 Of 12 Part Series: Sensory Symptoms (Vision, Hearing, Taste, Smell, and Touch) In Undiagnosed Celiac Disease.
This is the third in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, five sensory symptoms (vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) will be discussed. In many with undiagnosed CD, the intestinal villi, responsible for absorbing nutrients, becomes damaged, creating a flattened mucosal surface (villous flattening) that is less able to absorb nutrients. Autoimmune reactions to ingested gluten cross-react with intestinal villi and create this damage. Various nutrient deficiencies can occur and this, along with inflammation and other autoimmune factors, can lead to various sensory symptoms (8,71,72,74).
