Celiac Disease, sometimes referred to as coeliac or sprue, is a serious chronic autoimmune disorder that has to do with gluten sensitivity. Someone with Celiac Disease may experience damage in the small intestine triggered by eating gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.
Over time, the reaction damages the small intestine’s lining and prevents absorption or certain nutrients. This damage cause abdominal pain, constipation, vomiting, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, bloating, and weight loss. It can also affect growth and development in children.
