What are the complications associated with celiac disease?

Untreated celiac disease may cause malnutrition which results in slow growth. Moreover, malabsorption of calcium and vitamin d leads to softening of bones (rickets) in children and osteoporosis in adults.

Damage to the small intestine further results in lactose intolerance. People with celiac disease may have seizures or a disease of the nerves called peripheral neuropathy. Children may also have hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, and diabetes mellitus.
