Atypical celiac disease

Celiacs that are diagnosed with a silent or atypical celiac disease, do not show the classic symptoms and do not suffer from complaints despite a clear diagnosis.

This can be explained by the involvement of the uppermost part of the small intestine. The remaining part of the digestive tract remains functional in this case and takes over the processing of food for the damaged parts.

The gluten-free diet is usually refused more heavily by people suffering from a silent celiac because there is no suffering, and there is no improvement in general health status, as in the full picture of the disease.
