Gudi is a term sometimes used to refer to a condition related to gluten intolerance, which can manifest in various forms, including celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

Symptoms

Individuals with gudi may experience a range of symptoms, including:

• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Bloating
• Fatigue
• Weight loss

Complications

If left untreated, gudi can lead to complications such as:

• Malabsorption of nutrients
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Increased risk of intestinal lymphoma

Causes

The exact cause of gudi is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic predisposition and an autoimmune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

Risk Factors

Several factors may increase the risk of developing gudi, including:

• Family history of gluten-related disorders
• Presence of other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes or thyroid disease

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of gudi typically involves:

• Serological tests to detect specific antibodies
• Endoscopy with biopsy of the small intestine to assess damage

Treatment

The primary treatment for gudi is a strict gluten-free diet, which involves avoiding all foods containing gluten. In some cases, additional treatments may include:

• Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
• Immunosuppressants to manage severe symptoms
