Long-term, untreated celiac disease can lead to serious health complications, including osteoporosis, infertility, neurological disorders, T cell lymphoma, and advanced liver disease.<\/p>\n<p>There is a five to 10-fold higher risk of celiac disease in first-degree relatives of a patient with the condition. If you suspect a gluten intolerance or have a family member with celiac disease, it is crucial to obtain proper testing, including blood tests for antibodies and genetic predisposition, before starting a gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the only treatment available for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet. Finding a dietitian with expertise in navigating a gluten-free world is essential for maintaining health and preventing long-term complications.<\/p>\n<p>At Cooper University Health Care, our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and managing celiac disease. We offer comprehensive care that includes thorough evaluations, dietary guidance, and ongoing support to help patients manage their condition effectively. By combining advanced diagnostic tools with personalized treatment plans, Cooper is committed to helping patients live healthier lives while managing celiac disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 13 is National Celiac Disease Awareness Day, a day dedicated to increasing understanding of this autoimmune disorder that affects about 1 in 100 people worldwide.
