Coeliac disease
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms may occur at any age and may include weight loss, vomiting and diarrhoea. Many patients, however, may have mild, long-standing, non-gastrointestinal symptoms such as tiredness, lethargy and breathlessness. A baby predisposed to coeliac disease could, after the introduction of gluten-containing solids, develop pale, bulky, offensive smelling stools, and become miserable, lethargic and generally fail to thrive.
