Health
' COKI.IAC DISEASE
Cocllac disease Is a comparatively
rare condition, but Its gravity war
rants common knowledge of its na
ture. It Is seen almost entirely in chil
dren, appearing to be more common
among girls, and most frequently
appears in the second year of life,
though Infants as young as eight
months and children over-three have
been known to be affected.
' The disease affects the digestive
system, and in consequence the en
tire constitution.
The afflicted child suffers a chron
ic looseness of bowels, marked muB
cular weakness and wasting,
Tho stools are characteristic. They
are not watery, but loose. Their
consistency and appearance aro that
of oatmeal.
They are copious In quantity of
fensive in odor, and full of mucus.
Tho wasting process may not be
marked, but the child Is not robust.
Its abdomen is likely to be mark
edly prominent and it musculature
flabby.
As time passes, the child grows
older, but not bigger.
Its physical development appears
arrested, though It may show pre
cocious mental and emotional traits.
Thirst is a prominent feature in
the disease, due, no doubt, to the
large loss of body fluids in the stools.
The cause of the disease Ib un
known. It may be due to dietary
errors, though bacterial Infections are
suspected. Probably It is due to a
combination of forces..
Treatment Is mainly along dietary
lines.
, The child's Intolerance for certain
common foods such as raw milk,
bread, fruits and vegetables must
be studied, and adequate substitutes
or modified forms of the foods must
be found.
Such treatment of necessity calls
for full and patient cooperation be
tween physician and parents.
The condition Is curable, but the
treatment Is long drawn out.
Children successfully treated may
and frequently do "catch up" In their
physical development.
