What is Endoscopy for Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where consumption of gluten damages the lining of the small intestine. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent long-term complications. At Narayana’s Hospital, we provide advanced endoscopy for celiac disease to confirm diagnosis and guide effective treatment.

Celiac disease occurs when the immune system reacts abnormally to gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye), leading to inflammation and damage of the small intestine. This affects nutrient absorption and overall health.

Common symptoms include:

• Chronic diarrhea or constipation

• Abdominal pain and bloating

• Weight loss

• Fatigue and weakness

• Anemia

• Poor growth in children
