What Is Celiac Disease?
If eating foods with wheat, barley, or rye leaves you feeling unwell, it may be more than just a gluten intolerance; you could be dealing with celiac disease. This autoimmune condition causes the body to react to gluten as a threat, damaging the small intestine and interfering with nutrient absorption. Unlike gluten sensitivity or gluten allergy, celiac disease leads to lasting intestinal harm if not treated. Common celiac disease symptoms include bloating, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, and skin rashes. At Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates, our team helps patients get the answers they need with expert testing and support. Connect with our practice in Rochester Hills, MI today to learn more about managing gluten-related conditions.
How Is Celiac Disease Diagnosed?
Testing for celiac disease typically begins with a blood test to check for specific antibodies that signal an immune reaction to gluten. If results suggest celiac disease, patients at Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates may undergo an upper endoscopy with a small intestine biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, the most effective celiac disease treatments involve a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet to allow the intestinal lining to heal and prevent further damage. Our team of providers works closely with each patient to provide dietary guidance, monitor recovery, and manage symptoms for better long-term digestive health.
What Are the Benefits of Treating Celiac Disease?
Treating celiac disease is essential not only for symptom relief but also for protecting long-term health. Our patients in Rochester Hills, MI receive individualized care and support to help them adapt to a gluten-free lifestyle. A few of the primary benefits of properly managing celiac disease include:
- Relief from digestive symptoms, such as bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain
- Improved nutrient absorption and reduced risk of malnutrition
- Healing of intestinal damage caused by gluten exposure
- Lower risk of complications, like osteoporosis, infertility, and certain cancers
- Enhanced energy and overall well-being with fewer dietary-related issues
Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates Reviews
I met Dr. Farshadsefat through a hospital visit and have had a procedure and office visit with him since, He is very kind , approachable and listens to what I say. Great bedside manner and seems very genuine. I'd highly recommend him for GI needs. The office is clean , and I had a great experience meeting his other team members such as Rosemary at the front desk who made check in seamless and made me feel welcomed as well as Kristen the PA who came in and introduced herself - this office is alittle hard to get ahold of over the phone BUT it's worth it to have quality care when you're there.
