Study Suggests Link Between Celiac Disease and Anorexia Nervosa
How can doctors help these patients?
The earlier a person is diagnosed with celiac the less likely he or she develops an eating disorder. This can help physicians to give a treatment plan before a person’s celiac condition worsens. If individuals are diagnosed with anorexia, he or she should also get tested for the possible development of celiac disease to avoid further abdominal discomfort and diarrhea.
Luckily, since physicians are aware that both of these illnesses can be tricky to diagnose, many practitioners are now able to create treatment plans that are unique to each and every individual. Now that personalized treatment and medicines are now given to patients, success rates are now increasing.
