Hoe lang duurt herstel darmvlokken?
Door dat dieet nemen de klachten na een paar weken tot maanden af. Maar het herstel van de darmvlokken duurt langer. Bij sommige (volwassen) patiënten zal het darmslijmvlies nooit volledig herstellen. Hoewel de klachten door het dieet kunnen verdwijnen, verdwijnt de ziekte coeliakie zelf nooit.
Hoe lang duurt herstel coeliakie?
Er is maar één manier om coeliakie te behandelen: het levenslang volgen van een glutenvrij dieet. Als u dit doet, zullen uw klachten langzaam verdwijnen. Na enkele weken tot maanden voelt u zich een stuk beter. Binnen zes maanden tot een jaar is uw dunne darm weer helemaal hersteld.
What are the symptoms of coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease. Coeliac disease, also spelled celiac disease, is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the small intestine. Classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as chronic diarrhoea, abdominal distention, malabsorption, loss of appetite and among children failure to grow normally.
What can I eat if I have coeliac disease?
Find out more about the complications of coeliac disease. Gluten is not essential in your diet and it can be replaced by other foods. There are many gluten-free versions of common foods such as pasta, pizza bases and bread available in supermarkets and health food shops. Some GPs may provide bread and bread mixes on prescription.
Does coeliac disease run in families?
Coeliac disease often runs in families. If you have a close family member who has coeliac disease (a brother, sister, parent or child) then you have a 1 in 10 chance of developing coeliac disease.
What happens if coeliac disease is not treated?
If coeliac disease is not treated, not being able to digest food in the normal way could cause you to become malnourished, leading to tiredness and a lack of energy. Malnutrition in children can result in failure to grow at the expected rate, both in terms of height and weight.
