Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease affecting the digestive tract. In susceptible people, eating food with gluten damages little protrusions in the small intestine (called villi) that absorb nutrients. The condition affects absorption of all nutrients, not just those in foods with gluten, so untreated patients often become malnourished. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, and barley.
