- 2. Signs & Symptoms of Celiac Disease Celiac disease symptoms vary so widely among patients that there is no such thing as a "typical celiac." The amount of intestinal damage that has occurred and the length of time nutrient absorption has been abnormal seem to be the factors that determine the type and severity of symptoms experienced. Some people with celiac disease report no symptoms at all, however they are still at risk for complications. With prevalence estimates nearing 1 in 100, celiac disease is the most common genetic disease in the US. Review these symptoms and see a physician for further discussion and testing.
