A member asked:
I am so worried. my kids only need to see the doctor for sports physicals. now one has celiac disease. what should i say, in terms of effects on health and well-being?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be honest: Celiac disease can in some cases affect performance with fatigue and side effects of medication. Sports physicals are designed (hopefully) to try and find out about serious risks such as impending heart stoppage, asthma and aspects of physical fragility which would render athletic performance hazardous. Celiac disease is not one of those.
