What is "celiac disease"?
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder where the immune system reacts abnormally to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This reaction damages the lining of the small intestine, leading to difficulty in absorbing nutrients from food. Symptoms of celiac disease can vary widely and may include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. Treatment involves following a strict gluten-free diet, which means avoiding foods that contain gluten.
