What are the symptoms of coeliac disease?

The symptoms of coeliac disease vary from person to person and can range from very mild to severe. Common symptoms include:

  • frequent bouts of diarrhoea or loose stools
  • nausea, feeling sick and vomiting
  • stomach pain and cramping
  • lots of gas and bloating
  • feeling tired all the time, ongoing fatigue
  • anaemia (you would be told if you’re anaemic following a blood test)
  • weight loss (although not in all cases)
  • regular mouth ulcers
  • constipation or hard stools
  • skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis, the skin manifestation of coeliac disease).

If you have any of these symptoms, you can take our online assessment which is a short questionnaire on symptoms and other risk factors for coeliac disease.
