Untreated Celiac Disease

Here is the scenario.  You have not felt well for years.   You have either not gone to the doctor about it or perhaps been misdiagnosed by your physician as to the underlying cause.

Perhaps you have gas, bloating, intestinal issues, skin problems, ulcers in your mouth, swelling and/or fatigue.  The list goes on and on.

All of these symptoms can be celiac disease.

New findings were just released this month stating that women who are not treated for celiac disease are more likely to go through menopause a few years earlier.  On average women who suffered from the disease stopped getting their cycle between the ages of 47-48 years of age instead of  50-51 years of age.

Women suffering from undiagnosed celiac also suffered  more perimenopausal symptoms and a  higher risk of miscarriages.

As Tina Turbin stated from glutenfreehelp.info, 1 in every 133 people are suspected to having gluten issues.  She has a great tip sheet on her website telling what tests to request.
