Celiac Disease

The symptoms of celiac disease can leave you feeling uncomfortable, confused, and sometimes even powerless. But take heart. The comprehensive team of physicians, dietitians, nutritionists, and more at AdventHealth can help you make simple changes that lead to major relief.

The first step in your journey is a proper diagnosis. In some cases, celiac disease has no symptoms and can easily go undiagnosed. Our expert team is here to make sure that doesn’t happen, with simple tests that may include blood work and biopsies.

You might go a long time without realizing you have celiac disease and after your diagnosis, you'll probably have lots of questions. That’s completely normal and our knowledgeable, empathetic team is here to help provide answers. From identifying the causes and common symptoms of celiac disease to building comprehensive lifestyle plans that accommodate a healthy, gluten-free diet, we’re ready to help you break free of your symptoms and move forward with courage, determination, and the power of knowledge.

Some common symptoms of celiac disease include:

• Abdominal Pain

We can also help with other problems or conditions caused by your celiac disease, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In most cases, you’ll start to feel better within weeks of starting your new, wholesome, and delicious gluten-free diet.
