AN OBESE CHILD PATIENT DIAGNOSED WITH CELIAC DISEASE

Abstract

Celiac disease is a systemic autoimmune disease that frequently presents with clinical manifestations such as malnutrition, abdominal distension and diarrhea in childhood. With the increase in the incidence of celiac disease in recent years, differences in findings in patients at the time of diagnosis have been observed. While classical symptoms are common in younger age groups, differences in symptoms are more commonly observed in the adolescent age group. These findings often include abdominal pain, treatment-resistant iron deficiency anemia, elevated transaminase levels and diarrhea. Celiac disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis, even when malnutrition is not evident in such patients. In this case report, we present a case of an obese patient diagnosed with celiac disease, who experienced intermittent abdominal pain.
