In short, the more infections an infant has, the greater its risk for developing celiac disease. At the time I suggested this may be a result of the antibiotics administered to treat the infections, because antibiotics change
Since celiac disease symptoms occur as a result of consuming gluten, people often categorize celiac disease (CD) as a digestive disorder. But the symptoms are actually the result of an autoimmune disease, and often the most insidious and serious signs aren’t as tangible and immediate as various intestinal discomforts. CD may also manifest itself very differently in different people, so it is difficult to use a checklist of symptoms to identify this condition.
Recent research ties infant infections to increased celiac disease risk. But why? In this post Sarah discusses different reasons and ways our gut bacteria population changes and what consequences may result because of these changes.
While the claim that constipation caused by celiac disease can lead to depression may be a little bold there may be some truth to it. One of the celiac disease symptoms for some people is constipation. Depression is another possible consequence of of gluten intolerance, whether it is celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The connection between the two may not be entirely clear yet, but there are some interesting thoughts on this matter.
