♦️Do you have Celiac Disease?

♦️Are you the 1st degree relative (parent, sibling, child, aunt/uncle or cousin) of someone who does?

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): This study calls for screening of ALL first-degree relatives of patients — not just those who show symptoms.

In this study, 44% of screened first-degree relatives had celiac disease. Of those patients, 94% had symptoms that were NOT classic or had NO symptoms at all.

Recommendations: Gastroenterologists and General Practitioners should ask about any family history of celiac disease among their patients’ parents, siblings and children. And if they’re present during the clinic visit, they should offer screening.

Explaining Celiac Disease to a child - or an adult - can be challenging. Describing how one crumb of gluten can activate the auto immune response, causing villi in the small internist to blunt and malabsorption of nutrients can result can confuse and many.

Even as a Health Educator, I've found it challenging to explain the autoimmune disease component of Celiac, especially to kids. Another point that's hard to convey: even one crumb of gluten-containing food activates the response. Lastly, beyond the symptoms you may experience, what is happening internally.

This visual from GIANTmicrobes a fun way to show, not tell. It's a great tool to use with family members, friends, teachers any one who needs to understand!
