Veda Lab GLUTEN ALARM - home test for celiac disease

Celiac disease is a lifelong disease caused by gluten intolerance. People with this intolerance develop inflammation of the mucosa of the small intestine due to gluten, which leads to the destruction of mucosal villi and microvilli. As a result, the surface of the small intestine shrinks, reducing its ability to digest and absorb nutrients. 

Typical symptoms of celiac disease are diarrhoea, flatulence, abdominal cramps, weight loss and fatigue.

This disorder can manifest itself at any age - in childhood and adulthood. In children, celiac disease most often appears soon after they are first given a diet containing gluten. In most cases, children begin to suffer from diarrhoea, and bulky and smelly stools are typical. Abdominal pain may be present and gradually increase in intensity. Children lose their appetite, are often tearful and cranky. They lose weight and grow little, do not thrive. Anemia, caused by iron deficiency, may also occur.

In older children and in adults, the disease may become apparent after significant stress (e.g. illness, pregnancy). Symptoms are: reduced appetite, diarrhoea, bloating and constipation. However, instead of intestinal manifestations, a patient with celiac disease may also suffer from extra-intestinal manifestations such as anaemia, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), increased tooth decay, aphthae, enamel disorders, joint pain, fatigue, or mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. In women, celiac disease may be associated with later onset and irregularity of menstruation, and infertility and spontaneous abortion are common.

However, coeliac disease may not have any symptoms and can be diagnosed by searching for the disease in relatives of an already diagnosed coeliac.

Because of the great variety of manifestations of the disease, celiac disease is difficult to diagnose early and correctly in many cases, which is why it is called CHAMELEON'S DISEASE.

The test is carried out like a normal capillary blood sampling from the fingertip, but you know the result in a few minutes right in the comfort of your home.
