Coeliac Awareness Month: Get Expert Help from a Private GP Near You
May is Coeliac Awareness Month – a timely reminder of the importance of recognising and managing coeliac disease, a common yet often underdiagnosed autoimmune condition.
At Niva Medical Clinic in Stanmore, our experienced private GPs provide quick, evidence-based diagnosis and personalised care for patients with suspected or confirmed coeliac disease. We proudly serve individuals and families across Harrow, Edgware, Pinner, Hatch End, Wembley, Kingsbury, Bushey, Watford, and Northwood.
What is Coeliac Disease?
Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the small intestine when gluten is consumed. Gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye — common ingredients in bread, pasta, cakes and many processed foods.
Left undiagnosed, coeliac disease can lead to nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, osteoporosis, infertility, and even bowel cancer. According to Coeliac UK, it is estimated that 1 in 100 people in the UK are affected, but only 30% are diagnosed.
Signs and Symptoms to Look Out For
Coeliac disease presents with a wide range of symptoms that can mimic other conditions. If you are experiencing any of the following, it’s worth seeing one of our GPs for assessment:
-
Bloating, gas or abdominal pain
-
Diarrhoea or constipation
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Iron-deficiency anaemia
-
Tiredness or brain fog
-
Skin rashes (such as dermatitis herpetiformis)
-
Fertility problems or repeated miscarriages
-
Delayed growth in children
