Question 1

what happens if you have celiac disease and r on a gluten free diet does the celiac disease ever go away?

Accepted Answer

No you continue: No you have to stay on the diet all your life.

Question 2

are there psychological symptoms of celiac disease that also go away with a gluten-free diet?

Accepted Answer

Probably: No one has looked at this scientifically, as it's very difficult to measures states of mind.  However, it makes sense scientifically, as immune responses going on in the body slow down the mind and make one feel generally ill.  Anecdotally, i've seen folks with real celiac disease feel better overall soon after successful gluten elimination, but it won't help those without the real disease.

Question 3

See a ;hysician: Your cough is unlikely to be associated with your celiac disease. Prolonged cough may be due to post nasal drip, asthma or aspiration of acid because of acid reflux. These are teh commonest causes. The treatment of the cough needs to be determined by its cause. See  your physician asap.

Often it is associated with gastrointestinal distress including pale stools that are associated with non-specific diarrhea, cramping, and bloating. The diagnosis can only be made by a physician.

Question 10

are there nationality differences in regards to celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Because celiac disease is hereditary, the disease occurs more often in certain ethnic/racial groups because more people in those groups carry the hla-dq2 and hla-dq8 genes that "cause" celiac disease. The genes are more common in persons from northern and western europe, but are uncommon in western pacific rim populations (china, japan).
