| Summary: | Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune illness that develops in genetically susceptible persons who consume gluten that causes damage to the
small intestine. The average global prevalence of CD is between 0.5 and 1%, despite regional variations in the disease’s frequency.
In this report, we present a 34-year-old patient with a complaint of epigastric pain and burning with a history of nausea and vomiting. She
complained of severe gastric pain, bloating, discomfort, burning, and digestive problems.
Endoscopy and colonoscopy were performed due to her lower abdominal pain and it showed that the asymptomatic with isolated dyspepsia
patient was diagnosed with celiac disease. Every six months, anti-TCG, IgG, and IgA levels were monitored and they improved at the same
time that the patient’s symptoms did. Endoscopy must be performed in young patients, who have no signs of celiac disease and have a positive
laboratory test. |
