When I first saw this picture for the symptoms of Celiac Disease I thought it was great. I then read through all of the symptoms and thought, "If I had only seen this before, then it would have answered a lot of questions for my mom and me."
Looking at it now though, I can see that a lot of the symptoms can relate to many other things. Bad breath-brush your teeth, mouth sores/ulcers-too many acidic foods, breast tenderness-PMS, acne-oily skin/PMS, short temper-over tired, etc., etc. (If anything, this sign certainly makes it easier to understand why Celiac Disease is misdiagnosed so often.)
Having already been diagnosed with Celiac, I think that this picture is a good resource to use to see if maybe I'm still exposing myself to gluten. If I'm experiencing any of these symptoms, I know that I need to look more closely at my diet and figure out what needs to go.
