What Is Celiac Disease?
Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder where eating gluten damages the small intestine. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When someone with Celiac eats gluten, their immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine, making it harder to absorb nutrients. Celiac is lifelong, but with the right support, kids and adults can thrive.
