What should I know about symptome bei zoliakie bei erwachsenen?

Celiac disease in adults often presents differently than in children. Classic symptoms include chronic diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. However, many adults experience atypical or silent forms: iron-deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, dermatitis herpetiformis, dental enamel defects, joint pain, migraines, depression, or infertility. Symptoms may appear years after gluten exposure and are not always obvious. Diagnosis requires blood tests (tTG-IgA) and duodenal biopsy. Consumer home tests can provide hints but cannot replace clinical evaluation. Crucially, a gluten-free diet must not be started before biopsy, as it can skew results. The only treatment is lifelong strict gluten avoidance. Untreated celiac disease increases the risk of lymphoma, osteoporosis, and other autoimmune conditions. Evidence is strong (DGVS, ESPGHAN guidelines).
