Description

Coeliac disease is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. This damages your gut (small intestine) so your body cannot properly take in nutrients. Coeliac disease can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating. In this book, we will explore the nursing care and management of coeliac disease, with a focus on the assessment and diagnosis of the condition, the management of symptoms, and the promotion of optimal nutrition and health outcomes. We will also discuss the importance of patient education and self-management strategies for individuals with coeliac disease, as well as the latest research and evidence-based practice guidelines for the management of this common gastrointestinal condition.
