Part 12 Of 12 Part Series: Celiac Disease Symptom Checklist
This is the twelfth post in the 12 part series discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, a list of CD symptoms is included in a PDF format. As you review the symptoms, keep in mind that some individuals will only have one or two symptoms (for example, anemia and night blindness) and others may have many symptoms. Celiac Disease can be quite elusive, which makes it difficult to diagnose.

Part 11 of 12 Part Series: List of Diseases/Syndromes Associated With Celiac Disease
This is the eleventh in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, a list of associated diseases/syndromes will be included. Individuals with Celiac Disease have a higher risk of developing other autoimmune diseases. This may be due to genetic influences or the heightened permeability of the intestine may allow other environmental antigens access to the immune system. This could lead to an autoimmune response that triggers the development of other autoimmune diseases (5,69). Delayed diagnosis appears to increase the risk as well. Therefore, early recognition and diagnosis is important for primary prevention.
Part 10 Of 12 Part Series: Heart and Lung Symptoms In Undiagnosed Celiac Disease
This is the tenth in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, heart and lung symptoms will be discussed. There are studies, articles, and books identifying an association between CD, cardiac (heart), and pulmonary (lung) symptoms. The pathogenesis is likely due to autoimmune reactions (to ingested gluten), causing inflammation and damage to the cardiopulmonary system, in genetically predisposed individuals (1-39,44,45,61).
Part 9 Of 12 Part Series: Psychological And Cognitive Symptoms With Undiagnosed Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance or Sensitivities
This is the ninth in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, psychological and cognitive symptoms will be discussed. There are studies, articles, and books identifying an association between CD/gluten sensitivities, psychological and cognitive symptoms The pathogenesis is thought to be due to autoimmune reactions (to ingested gluten) causing inflammation and damage in the central nervous system (CNS) and the gastrointestinal tract in genetically predisposed individuals. With gastrointestinal involvement, nutrient deficiencies (common in CD), can add to the symptoms (1,5,6,10-12-14,15,19,20,23-29,32-34,37,38,41,42,55-57).

Part 8 Of 12 Part Series: Neurological Symptoms (Ataxia, Neuropathies, Seizures, Strokes, Migraines, Myopathies, Dementia) With Undiagnosed Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance or Sensitivities
This is the eighth in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, neurological symptoms will be discussed. There are studies, articles, and books identifying an association between gluten intolerance/CD, gluten sensitivities, and neurological symptoms (1-3,5-13,16-110,115,117,119,120,136-144,148,151-153). The pathogenesis is thought to be due to autoimmune reactions (to ingested gluten) causing inflammation and damage in the central and peripheral nervous systems in genetically predisposed individuals (1,17,18,21,23,24,29,30,71,83,110,117,118,123,152,153,155).

This is the seventh in a series of posts discussing the variety of symptoms that can be caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease (CD). In this post, urological symptoms associated with undiagnosed CD, a gluten sensitivity, or food allergies/sensitivities will be discussed.

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).
