The boy suffered a fracture due to digestive disorders

A 7-year-old Portuguese boy, who suffered frequent fractures due to Celiac disease.

Fractures often occur in children, hyperactive subjects, or running around happily. But for a 7-year-old Portuguese, the fracture is caused by digestive disorders.

According to LiveSience, the boy was taken by his family to see a doctor after a fracture 3 times in 2 years. Treatment doctors were confused by this condition, because she had a healthy diet, drank a lot of milk and milk products.

The results of the boy's blood and bone tests are also very positive. The amount of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the blood are all normal to ensure healthy bone growth.

But the boy's blood test also found large amounts of suspected antibodies linked to Celiac disease . A gastroenterologist also concurred with the diagnosis of doctors.

After conducting the tests, experts said the boy had Celiac disease, a gastrointestinal disease that damages the small intestine and impedes the absorption of nutrients from food.

People with Celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten , a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. When eating gluten, resistance creates antibodies that destroy the lining of the small intestine, making it impossible for the body to absorb nutrients. This makes eating difficult because gluten is found in many foods and medicines.

The body does not absorb nutrients that will cause malnutrition, anemia, diarrhea, weight loss, tooth loss and osteoporosis. This may be the reason why the boy broke his arm several times. Experts believe that lack of absorption can reduce bone density, making them more brittle.

Doctors gave him a gluten-free diet in an effort to improve the overall bone condition. This method has been successful, I have not suffered a broken bone one more time for nearly 4 years after that.

What is Celiac disease?

Celiac is a very common digestive disease of about 1: 100 people. The disease is caused by the body having an adverse reaction to gluten, causing the intestinal mucosa to be destroyed, disrupting the body's ability to absorb nutrients.

There are no special symptoms or signs of the disease, but often there is diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence and weight loss. The disease can cause symptoms such as stomach ulcers, enteritis, anemia, skin diseases and osteoporosis.

There is no better way to treat and control Celiac disease than to stop using gluten-containing foods . When gluten intolerance is stopped, reactions in the small intestine mucosa will gradually decrease and stop. After a long time, the small intestine mucosa gradually recovers and the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine will return to stability.
