| Could you have Celiac Disease?
eDiets.com- Aug 14
Celiac disease (CD), sometimes referred to as gluten intolerance,
is an inherited condition in which the body's immune cells
attack healthy tissues in response to a dietary substance
called gluten. When people with celiac disease eat foods
containing gluten, a protein component of wheat, rye,
or barley, the immune system attacks and damages the lining
of the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed. |
