Patients with celiac disease usually appear [[Fatigue|tired]]. Common [[physical examination]] findings of celiac disease include [[hepatosplenomegaly]], [[abdominal tenderness]] with distention and [[Dermatitis herpetiformis|scaly rash]] on extensor surfaces.

===Heart===
The [[diarrhoea]] characteristic of coeliac disease is [[steatorrhoea|pale]], voluminous and malodorous. [[Abdominal pain]] and cramping, bloatedness with abdominal distention (thought to be due to fermentative production of bowel gas) and [[mouth ulcer]]s<ref>{{cite journal | author = Ferguson R, Basu M, Asquith P, Cooke W | title = Jejunal mucosal abnormalities in patients with recurrent aphthous ulceration | journal = Br Med J | volume = 1 | issue = 6000 | pages = 11–13 | year = 1976|id = PMID 1247715}}</ref> may be present. As the bowel becomes more damaged, a degree of [[lactose intolerance]] may develop. However, the variety of gastrointestinal symptoms that may be present in patients with coeliac disease is great, and some may have a normal bowel habit or even tend towards [[constipation]]. Frequently the symptoms are ascribed to [[irritable bowel syndrome]] (IBS), only later to be recognised as coeliac disease; a small proportion of patients with symptoms of IBS have underlying coeliac disease, and screening may be justified.<ref name=Spiegel>{{cite journal | author = Spiegel BM, DeRosa VP, Gralnek IM, Wang V, Dulai GS | year = 2004 | month = Jun | title = Testing for celiac sprue in irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea: a cost-effectiveness analysis | journal = Gastroenterology | volume = 126 | issue = 7 | pages = 1721–32 | id = PMID 15188167}}</ref>
*Normal [[heart sounds]]
===Lungs===
*Normal bilateral [[Vesicular Breathing|vesicular]] breath sounds


Coeliac disease leads to an increased risk of both [[adenocarcinoma]] and [[lymphoma]] of the small bowel, which returns to baseline with diet. Longstanding disease may lead to other complications, such as ''ulcerative jejunitis'' (ulcer formation of the small bowel) and stricturing (narrowing as a result of scarring).<ref name=AGA>{{cite journal | author = | title = American Gastroenterological Association medical position statement: Celiac Sprue | journal = Gastroenterology | volume = 120 | issue = 6 | pages = 1522–5 | year = 2001 | id = PMID 11313323 | url = http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/PIIS0016508501701618/fulltext}}</ref>

===Malabsorption-related===
The changes in the bowel make it less able to absorb nutrients, minerals and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.<ref name=Ciclitira/>
* The inability to absorb carbohydrates and fats may cause [[weight loss]] (or [[failure to thrive]]/stunted growth in children) and [[fatigue (physical)|fatigue]] or lack of energy.
* [[Anaemia]] may develop in several ways: iron malabsorption may cause [[iron deficiency anemia|iron deficiency anaemia]], and [[folic acid]] and [[vitamin B12]] malabsorption may give rise to [[megaloblastic anemia|megaloblastic anaemia]].
* [[Calcium in biology|Calcium]] and [[vitamin D]]  malabsorption (and compensatory secondary [[hyperparathyroidism]]) may cause [[osteopenia]] (decreased mineral content of the bone) or [[osteoporosis]] (bone weakening and risk of fragility fractures).
* A small proportion (10%) have abnormal [[coagulation]] due to deficiency of [[vitamin K]], and are slightly at risk for abnormal bleeding.
* Coeliac disease is also associated with [[small bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome|bacterial overgrowth]] of the [[small intestine]], which can worsen malabsorption, or cause malabsorption after treatment.<ref name=Tursi>{{cite journal | author = Tursi A, Brandimarte G, Giorgetti G | title = High prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in celiac patients with persistence of gastrointestinal symptoms after gluten withdrawal | journal = Am J Gastroenterol | volume = 98 | issue = 4 | pages = 839-43 | year = 2003 | id = PMID 12738465}}</ref>


===Miscellaneous===

Coeliac disease has been linked with a number of conditions. In many cases it is unclear whether the gluten-induced bowel disease is a causative factor or whether these conditions share a common predisposition.
* [[IgA deficiency]] is present in 2% of patients with coeliac disease, and in turn this condition features a tenfold increased risk of coeliac disease.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Crabbé P, Heremans J | title = Selective IgA deficiency with steatorrhea. A new syndrome | journal = Am J Med | volume = 42 | issue = 2 | pages = 319-26 | year = 1967 | id = PMID 4959869}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | author = Collin P, Mäki M, Keyriläinen O, Hällström O, Reunala T, Pasternack A | title = Selective IgA deficiency and coeliac disease | journal = Scand J Gastroenterol | volume = 27 | issue = 5 | pages = 367-71 | year = 1992|id = PMID 1529270}}</ref> Other features of this condition are an increased risk of [[infection]]s and [[autoimmune disease]].
* [[Dermatitis herpetiformis]]; this itchy cutaneous condition has been linked to a transglutaminase enzyme in the skin, features small bowel changes identical to those in coeliac disease<ref name=Marks>{{cite journal | author = Marks J, Shuster S, Watson A | title = Small-bowel changes in dermatitis herpetiformis | journal = Lancet | volume = 2 | issue = 7476 | pages = 1280–2 | year = 1966 | id = PMID 4163419}}</ref> and occurs more often (in 2%) in patients with coeliac disease.
* Neurological associations: [[epilepsy]], [[ataxia]] (coordination problems), [[myelopathy]] and [[peripheral neuropathy]] have all been linked with coeliac disease, but the strength of these associations and the causality is still subject of debate.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Pengiran Tengah D, Wills A, Holmes G | title = Neurological complications of coeliac disease | journal = Postgrad Med J | volume = 78 | issue = 921 | pages = 393-8 | year = 2002 | url = http://pmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/78/921/393 | id = PMID 12151653}}</ref>
* [[Growth failure]] and/or [[delayed puberty|pubertal delay]] in later childhood can occur even without obvious bowel symptoms or severe [[malnutrition]]. Evaluation of growth failure often includes coeliac screening.
* [[Miscarriage]] and [[infertility]].
* [[Hyposplenism]] (a small and underactive [[spleen]]) - it is unclear whether this actually increases infection risk in the same way as in other people without a functioning spleen.<ref name=Ferguson>{{cite journal | author = Ferguson A, Hutton M, Maxwell J, Murray D | title = Adult coeliac disease in hyposplenic patients | journal = Lancet | volume = 1 | issue = 7639 | pages = 163-4 | year = 1970 | id = PMID 4189238}}</ref>
