Abstract
Celiac crisis (CC) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of celiac disease (CD), characterized by severe diarrhea, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic disturbances. We report the case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman presented significant dehydration, weight loss, and steatorrheic stools. Diagnosis was confirmed by duodenal biopsy, with rapid improvement following a gluten-free diet (GFD) and corticosteroids. The diagnosis of CC was established based on the acute clinical presentation and rapid improvement following a GFD and corticosteroid therapy. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and prompt management of CC, particularly in undiagnosed or untreated CD, to prevent severe maternal and fetal complications.
