Celiac Disease Care in Tampa

You know your stomach, what makes it roil and what makes it rumble. If you find that eating is causing more discomfort than pleasure, it may be time to meet with our Tampa hospital digestive health team — physicians, dietitians, nutritionists, and more, all committed to helping you find peace and relief from your discomfort.

Since symptoms of celiac disease are experienced differently from person to person — and in some cases, not at all — it’s important to uncover the specifics of your condition and how it's affecting you. At AdventHealth Tampa, formerly Florida Hospital Tampa, your care team will help make sure your diagnosis is thorough and accurate, with celiac disease tests that may include blood work or endoscopic biopsies of the small intestine. Through everything we do, our goal will be to minimize or eliminate your unpleasant symptoms so that you can continue to enjoy all the pleasures inherent in a great meal.

You could be living with celiac disease for years and not even know it. As an inherited condition, it is often triggered by things like infection, physical injury, or unusual amounts of stress. If symptoms of celiac disease begin to show up in your life, we’re here to help. Your care team will build a plan to help you adapt to a gluten-free diet and overcome the uncomfortable and even painful symptoms, which can include:

• Abdominal Pain
• Anemia
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Excessive Gas
• Fatigue
• Joint and Bone Pain
• Leg Numbness
• Weight Loss

Your celiac disease diagnosis doesn’t have to make life less enjoyable. We provide the expert care and support to help you regain control — and face each day with comfort and joy you deserve.

You may not be ready to give up bread. Or pizza. Or any one of the glutenous foods you love. Making dietary adjustments is one of the hardest lifestyle changes to make. The good news is, thanks to the "gluten-free" diet boom, there are plenty of wheat-free substitutes available for all your old favorites. The even better news is that we're here, with a team of knowledgeable dietitians and nutritionists, to help you adapt to your new diet and lifestyle. We’ll also address issues like vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can come along with celiac disease, so you can make sure your body is absorbing the nutrients it needs to stay strong. And there's one more piece of good news: after beginning your new gluten-free diet, you’ll typically start feeling better within a few weeks.
