Do I Have Celiac Disease Quiz
Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. What is your biological family history of diagnosed celiac disease?
I know of no diagnosed celiac disease in my biological family.
An extended biological relative, such as an aunt, uncle, cousin, or grandparent, has it.
One parent, sibling, or child has it.
More than one parent, sibling, or child has it, or a clinician has specifically recommended testing because of my family history.
2. How would you describe fatigue or a possible iron-related issue?
I do not have persistent unexplained fatigue, and I have not been told I have iron deficiency.
I occasionally feel tired during periods of poor sleep or unusual demands, then recover.
I have persistent unexplained fatigue, or testing has shown low iron or anemia.
Unexplained anemia or weakness is worsening, not responding as expected to treatment, or occurs with fainting, chest pain, or breathlessness.
3. Which statement best describes bloating or abdominal swelling after eating?
I do not experience recurring bloating after ordinary meals.
I occasionally feel bloated after an unusually large or rich meal.
Ordinary meals repeatedly cause pronounced bloating, sometimes especially after foods containing wheat, barley, or rye.
Swelling or pain has occurred with repeated vomiting or an inability to pass stool or gas.
4. Think about meals containing wheat, barley, or rye. What pattern have you observed?
I have not noticed a recurring connection between these foods and symptoms.
Symptoms sometimes follow mixed meals, but the pattern is inconsistent and could involve several ingredients.
Similar digestive or whole-body symptoms repeatedly appear after gluten-containing foods.
The recurring pattern substantially limits eating or daily activity, or occurs together with ongoing weight loss or nutritional problems.
5. Which option best describes any recurring skin eruption?
I do not have a recurring unexplained itchy or blistering rash.
I occasionally get a mild rash with an identifiable trigger, such as an irritant, and it resolves.
I repeatedly develop intensely itchy clusters of small bumps or blisters, especially on the elbows, knees, buttocks, back, or scalp.
A clinician suspects or has identified dermatitis herpetiformis, or a skin biopsy for it is planned or abnormal.
6. What is your experience with mouth sores or dental enamel changes?
I do not have recurring unexplained mouth sores or known enamel changes.
I occasionally get one sore after biting or irritating my mouth, and it heals normally.
I frequently develop unexplained mouth ulcers, or a dental professional has noted unusual enamel defects or discoloration.
Mouth pain or sores are preventing me from eating or drinking enough, or are accompanied by signs of dehydration.
7. Over the past three months, which description best matches changes in your bowel habits?
I have not had a persistent or recurring change.
I had one brief change that fully resolved, such as during a short illness or trip.
I have recurring unexplained diarrhea, constipation, or shifts between the two.
I have persistent diarrhea with trouble keeping up with fluids, marked dizziness, or fainting.
8. If you have reduced gluten, what happened?
I have not restricted gluten, and I have not noticed a gluten-linked pattern.
I felt somewhat different after changing several foods or habits at once, so gluten's role is unclear.
Symptoms have repeatedly eased while avoiding gluten and returned after eating it again.
I am avoiding gluten because previous reactions or nutritional decline were substantial, but I have not had a clinician-guided evaluation.
9. During daily activities, have you noticed unexplained bone, nerve, or balance problems?
I have not noticed a recurring unexplained problem of this kind.
I sometimes have brief tingling after pressure on a limb or ordinary soreness after exertion.
I have recurring unexplained tingling, numbness, balance difficulty, muscle weakness, or bone pain.
I have had a low-impact fracture, progressive weakness, repeated falls, or rapidly worsening balance problems.
10. When you look at your stool pattern, what have you noticed?
It is generally typical for me, without a recurring unusual pattern.
It is occasionally loose or hard for a short time, then returns to normal.
It is repeatedly bulky, greasy, unusually pale, floating, or difficult to flush.
I have seen visible blood or black, tar-like stool.
11. Imagine an ordinary week of meals. How does abdominal discomfort affect you?
I do not have recurring abdominal discomfort.
I occasionally have mild discomfort that resolves quickly and does not affect my plans.
Pain or cramping returns regularly and sometimes disrupts meals, sleep, work, or school.
The pain is severe or worsening, wakes me repeatedly, or occurs with faintness or a rigid-feeling abdomen.
12. What has happened with your weight or ability to maintain it?
My weight is broadly stable apart from changes I intended.
I have had a small, short-term fluctuation that matched a temporary change in routine or appetite.
I have lost weight without intending to, or I repeatedly struggle to gain or maintain weight despite eating adequately.
I am losing weight rapidly or continuously, especially with marked weakness, dizziness, or reduced ability to function.
13. Where do you currently stand with celiac testing?
I have not had an abnormal celiac test, and a clinician has not recommended testing.
Testing has been mentioned, but no test has been ordered or completed.
A result was inconclusive, or testing occurred after I had already reduced or stopped gluten.
A celiac blood test was abnormal or positive, or I have been referred for specialist assessment or biopsy and have not completed follow-up.
14. During a typical month, what is your experience with nausea, vomiting, or early fullness?
These are not recurring experiences for me.
I have brief, occasional nausea that does not change how I eat or drink.
Nausea or feeling full unusually quickly repeatedly reduces how much I can eat.
I have repeated vomiting, cannot keep fluids down, or develop signs of dehydration such as very little urination or marked dizziness.
15. Which statement best reflects your history of conditions that can occur more often alongside celiac disease?
I have not been diagnosed with an associated autoimmune or genetic condition.
A clinician is currently evaluating me for a possible autoimmune condition.
I have a diagnosed condition such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, autoimmune liver disease, selective IgA deficiency, Down syndrome, or Turner syndrome.
Because of one of these conditions, a clinician has specifically advised celiac testing or follow-up that I have not yet completed.
