Celiac Crisis in the Postpartum: a life-threatening cause of diarrhea and malnutrition

This case highlights the importance of considering CD in the differential diagnosis of postpartum malnutrition and chronic diarrhea. Postpartum period may trigger the disease, underscoring the need for awareness in clinical settings. Celiac hepatitis is a prevalent occurrence within the spectrum of CD, with transient transaminase elevation with resolution following the initiation of a gluten-free diet. Celiac crisis, though rare, requires prompt diagnosis and intervention to avoid further complications.
