Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Gluten-sensitive enteropathy is a condition of the intestine in which the consumption of gluten, a protein found in cereals such as wheat, triggers a reaction that damages the intestinal lining and hinders nutrient absorption.
Common symptoms: Digestive discomfort, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, or difficulty gaining weight may appear, especially in childhood.
When it is advisable to evaluate it: If the digestive symptoms are persistent or are related to eating, it is time to study it.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the pediatric gastroenterologist evaluate intestinal health, the pediatrician provides support in the case of children, and the allergist offers guidance when food reactions are suspected. Before removing gluten on your own, it is advisable that one of these professionals evaluate the case.
