When to see a doctor about coeliac disease
People who have any of the symptoms associated with coeliac disease should see a doctor for proper diagnosis to confirm this condition (or to rule it out and confirm another diagnosis).
It is important to see a doctor and not self-medicate, because coeliac disease can cause major damage to the intestines and can cause complications if left untreated for a prolonged period.

People with existing coeliac disease need to see their doctor (and registered dietician) on a regular basis, to monitor their condition, to ensure they are not suffering from complications and to help with dietary management.
People with existing digestive disorders such as leaky gut syndrome or IBS need to see their doctor as they may have less symptoms and feel better on a gluten-free diet.
