Abstract

Celiac crisis, an acute severe onset of celiac disease, is a rare and life-threatening manifestation. We report a 30-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes mellitus who arrived at our service with one-month history of severe acute watery diarrhea associated with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and weight loss of 9 kg. The diagnostic hypothesis of celiac crisis was reached based on profuse diarrhea leading to dehydration, severe metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities, and subsequent improvement after introduction of a gluten-free diet.A crise celíaca é uma manifestação rara e grave da doença celíaca.

A hipótese diagnóstica de crise celíaca foi realizada, baseada no quadro de diarreia profusa, desidratação e distúrbios hidroeletrolíticos e ácido-básicos que melhorou após a introdução de dieta enteral sem glúten
