Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system reacts to gluten, damaging the small intestine. Dr. Omer diagnoses this through careful clinical assessment and specialised testing, helping you achieve clarity and begin appropriate management. Most patients experience significant symptom improvement once diagnosis is confirmed and treatment begins.
Celiac Disease occurs when gluten triggers an immune reaction in your small intestine, causing inflammation and damage. Dr. Omer uses blood tests and sometimes endoscopic biopsies to confirm the diagnosis. The process takes minimal time, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Celiac Disease is recommended when you experience unexplained digestive symptoms like chronic diarrhoea, bloating, or abdominal pain alongside fatigue and weight loss. Diagnosis is essential because unmanaged gluten sensitivity leads to serious nutritional deficiencies and long-term intestinal damage if left untreated.
Anyone with persistent digestive symptoms, family history of autoimmune disease, or gluten intolerance should be evaluated. Celiac Disease affects all ages, though it is often diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood. Dr. Omer assesses each patient individually regardless of symptom duration or severity.
Before your assessment, avoid starting a gluten-free diet prematurely, as this can affect test accuracy. Dr. Omer will provide specific instructions about fasting, medications, and any dietary adjustments. Most patients find the diagnostic process straightforward, with clear next steps explained immediately after.
