What is celiac disease?
Correct!
Celiac disease is a chronic disease of the digestive and immune systems. In affected people, eating gluten triggers an immune reaction that can damage the small intestine. This can impair the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Treatment currently consists mainly of a strict gluten-free diet.
