What Is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes
severe damage to the lining of the small intestine.
Gluten which is a protein found in wheat, rye and
barley, triggers its symptoms.
There is no cure for celiac disease.  A strict gluten
free diet must be followed to allow your body
to heal.  Even in small amounts, gluten can
damage your intestines.
