Signs of celiac disease begin to show not only in childhood patterns, but can also develop at more mature ages. What causes celiac disease is often linked to hereditary reasons, certain genetic disorders, and autoimmune disease. Some indicators can include anemia, bad liver function, autoimmune thyroid disease, Down syndrome, Microscopic colitis (colon inflammation), and Turner Sydrome (an incomplete sex chromosome).
Celiac Disease-Cause. Although the exact cause of celiac disease isn't known, having certain genes increases your risk. You are more likely to have these genes if you have a first-degree relative (mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter) who has celiac disease. Environmental factors, such as infections, may trigger changes in the small intestine of a person with these genes.
