Celiac disease can be difficult to diagnose because it affects people differently. There are more than 200 known celiac disease symptoms which may occur in the digestive system or other parts of the body.

Some people with celiac disease have no symptoms at all, but still test positive on the celiac disease blood test. Others may have a negative blood test, but have a positive intestinal biopsy.

However, all people with celiac disease are at risk for long-term complications, whether or not they display any symptoms.

Do you feel you or a family member may have Celiac Disease? At AFH, we offer a Genomic Wellness Panel, where gluten sensitivity is part of it! We would love to help you understand your genetic risk for developing as well as help you work towards your health and wellness goals!
