When do symptoms of Coeliac Disease first appear?
Gluten symptoms slowly get more severe as time goes on. Symptoms can often begin soon after gluten appears on the child’s diet. But the tissue damage in the gut may takes years and years to become established. Some people are diagnosed at 12 months of age, other at 90 years of age. Because the symptoms are so varied, including mental and psychiatric problems, the possibility of CD need to be born in mind for everyone with ongoing symptoms, at any age. Remember, you cannot rule out CD, all you can do is confirm it.
