Some common symptoms that may indicate the presence of Celiac disease are vomiting, fatigue, abdominal bloating and pain, and weight loss. The two lab tests used to diagnose the disease is a blood test for gluten antibodies, or a biopsy of the small bowel to assess if any damage has been done to the gut. Skin biopsies might also be taken.
Lactose intolerance is caused by the body not producing enough lactase. Lactase is an enzyme secreted in the small intestine that digests substances containing lactose. If lactose is consumed, symptoms like stomach bloating, …show more content…
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an inflammatory lung disease caused by the constant obstruction of airflow from the lungs.
Other than smoking, some common causes of COPD are secondhand smoke, pollution, asthma, and genes.
a) General circulatory system: Smoking affects the circulatory system by thickening the blood, which can increase the likelihood of clots, increasing blood pressure and rate, and narrowing the arteries, which reduces the amount of oxygenated blood circulating.
b) Brain: It also has negative effects on the brain, by increasing both the likelihood of suffering from a stroke and increasing the likelihood the stroke will be fatal, as well as causing anxiety and fatigue.
c) Heart: Smoking greatly increases the chances of contracting conditions like coronary heart disease, stroke, damaged blood vessels. The chemicals in cigarettes can cause the heart to work faster as well as increasing the risk of blood clots and the erosion of arteries.
d) Stomach: Smoking increases the likelihood of getting ulcers and stomach or kidney
