Post by: mikael on Aug 10, 2013
Andrea was looking fatigued and not very healthy. She was losing weight and often had an upset stomach. She complained of pain in her joints and lately she also noticed a rash on her skin. Her digestive symptoms worsened whenever she ate a meal with bread or pasta. What do you think is most likely to be Andrea's diagnosis?
A. celiac disease
B. irritable bowel syndrome
C. ulcerative colitis
D. Crohn's disease

A. celiac disease
The worsening with bread/pasta would indicate an intolerance to glutens
