According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, these symptoms may be warning signs of celiac disease in adults:

  • Digestive problems including chronic diarrhea, abdominal bloating and pain. Digestive symptoms, however, are less likely to affect adults than children.
  • Feeling tired, anxious or depressed.
  • Arthritis or osteoporosis.
  • Unexplained anemia.
  • Feelings of numbness or tingling in the feet or hands.
  • Seizures.
  • Irregular menstrual periods, multiple miscarriages or infertility.
  • Canker sores.
