Читать книгу Gluten Exposed: The Science Behind the Hype and How to Navigate to a Healthy, Symptom-free Life - Rory Jones, Dr. Green Peter - Страница 34

If you are suffering from symptoms that include:

 chronic diarrhea or constipation

 gas/bloating

 anemia

 vomiting

 canker sores

 weight loss

 failure to thrive (in children)

 vitamin deficiencies

 lactose intolerance

 behavioral issues

 brain fog

 neuropathies

and/or celiac disease has been diagnosed in a family member, you should be tested for celiac disease before starting a gluten-free diet. Once you are on the diet, testing becomes more difficult to interpret, can be inaccurate, and may require a gluten challenge that brings a return of unwanted symptoms.

The blood and endoscopic tests for celiac disease are detailed in chapter 17. These are the definitive tests to determine if someone is mounting an autoimmune reaction to gluten that is destroying the lining of their small intestine and interfering with digestion.
