Complications of Celiac Disease in Adults and Children

There are complications associated with Celiac disease in adults and children. Damage to the small intestine and the resulting problems with nutrient malabsorption and symptoms of celiac disease put a person with celiac disease at risk for several diseases and health problems.

  • Lymphoma and adenocarcinoma are types of cancer that can develop in the intestine
  • Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak, brittle, and prone to breaking. Poor calcium absorption is a contributing factor to osteoporosis
  • Short stature results when childhood celiac disease prevents nutrient absorption during the years when nutrition is critical to a child's normal growth and development. Children who are diagnosed and treated before their growth stops may have a catch-up period.
