Summary Celiac disease can impair nutrient absorption, which may lead to iron-deficiency anemia. Nevertheless, there are several other potential causes of iron-deficiency anemia, as well. [healthline.com]
Three children are described with long-standing pica and iron-deficiency anemia and in whom total villous atrophy consistent with celiac disease was found on jejunal biopsy. [hero.epa.gov]

Other potential causes of fatigue include infection, thyroid problems, depression and anemia. Summary Fatigue is a common issue for those with celiac disease. [healthline.com]
Heather came in to the office with “fatigue.” She has felt tired for years. She has been to other doctors and found to have normal thyroid and other hormones. No cause of her fatigue had been found. [homecuresthatwork.com]
In undiagnosed, untreated coeliac disease there is a greater risk of complications including impaired weight gain and growth problems, delayed puberty, iron deficiency anaemia, chronic fatigue and osteoporosis. [coeliac.org.uk]
Anxiety, depression and fatigue are common issues reported in celiac disease patients prior to diagnosis. [beyondceliac.org]
Initial medical assessment had not found any organic etiology for Gabriella’s recent increased fatigue, decreased appetite, and low mood. [celiac.org]
- Weight Loss
Unexplained weight loss could also be caused by conditions like diabetes, cancer, depression or thyroid problems. Summary Many people with celiac disease experience unexplained weight loss. [healthline.com]
The most recognized symptoms of celiac disease are diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. [lifespan.org]
However, this study by Dhroove, et al. was limited in that children with chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal pain in particular locations were excluded. [bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com]
Although iron deficiency anemia may be the sole presenting clinical manifestation of occult celiac disease without other typical symptoms, such as diarrhea or weight loss, a very thorough gastrointestinal assessment is essential to exclude other causes [sciepub.com]
Other children have more severe symptoms that can result in an earlier diagnosis, including failure to thrive, weight loss, and vomiting. Fortunately, children and adolescents typically respond well to treatment with the gluten-free diet. [celiac.org]
- Infertility
Left untreated, the condition can lead to complications such as malnutrition, low bone density, lactose intolerance and infertility. [reuters.com]

Copper levels normalize within a month of adequate supplementation and a GFD, although reversibility of established neurological manifestations is unclear ( 208 ). Copper deficiency appears to be a very rare cause of peripheral neuropathy ( 237 ). [gi.org]
- Dizziness
Symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia include fatigue, weakness, chest pain, headaches and dizziness. One study looked at 34 children with celiac disease and found that nearly 15% had mild to moderate iron-deficiency anemia ( 18 ). [healthline.com]
Workup
However, because 50% of patients were neither short nor underweight, normal height and weight should not preclude workup of a patient with symptoms suggestive of CCD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The researchers conclude that their study “underscores the importance of both mental health surveillance in children with celiac disease and a medical workup in children with psychiatric symptoms.” [psychiatryadvisor.com]

HLA Type
- HLA-DQ2
HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 Genes 95% of people with celiac disease have either or both of the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genes. Having one or both of these genes does not mean that you will definitely develop celiac disease. [beyondceliac.org]
All successfully genotyped screening-detected cases (99%) carried the HLA-DQ2/DQ8 haplotype ( Table 2 ). [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
HLA-DQ2 (∼95%) or HLA-DQ8 (∼5%) are present in almost all patients with CD ( 111, 112 ). Testing negative for both HLA-DQ types makes CD diagnosis very unlikely (NPV>99%) ( 78 ). [gi.org]
Methods We performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dietary-intervention study involving 944 children who were positive for HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 and had at least one first-degree relative with celiac disease. [drschaer-institute.com]
The most important genes associated with susceptibility to coeliac disease are HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. Either one or both of these genes are present in the majority of people with coeliac disease. [coeliac.org.au]

Therefore, diagnostic procedures related to CCD appear justified in all children with short stature of unknown etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
