Celia Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system reacts negatively to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with celiac consumes gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine’s lining, damaging its ability to absorb nutrients properly. This can cause symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and weight loss. It’s a chronic condition that requires a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet to prevent symptoms and long-term complications. Celiac disease is different from gluten sensitivity or wheat allergy, as it involves an immune response that damages the intestines.
