5. Weight Loss
Although all of us want to see smaller numbers on the scale, a sudden weight loss should always be a concern. So, if you’re always eating what you want and you’re still dropping pounds, maybe it’s about time to visit your doctor.
Indeed, a fast metabolism could also be the culprit, but when it comes to celiac disease, your body is actually unable to absorb important and essential nutrients, leading to… let’s call it malnutrition, not weight loss.
In one study, 112 people with celiac disease reported sudden weight loss as their first celiac disease symptom. After following a strict, gluten-free diet, they were all able to gain weight.
It’s crucial to understand that unexpected weight loss can appear due to many health conditions, including diabetes and even cancer.
