Celiac Disease treatment in Tijuana

Celiac disease is a disorder in which the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and affects the small intestine.

Common symptoms:

• Digestive discomfort such as diarrhea, bloating, or abdominal pain
• Fatigue and weight loss
• In children, growth difficulties
• Sometimes, symptoms outside the digestive tract

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist focuses on the study of this condition, with support from the dietitian for nutrition and the pediatrician when it affects children.

When to seek care? If you have persistent digestive discomfort that seems related to certain foods, it is worth discussing it with a professional. A proper evaluation helps understand the source of the symptoms and guide the next steps.
