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 is believed to be an autoimmune disorder. While genetics appear to play a role in causing it, some people at risk for celiac disease will not develop it until something triggers their immune system, such as a viral infection or severe emotional stress.
