Celiac Disease: Symptoms, Testing and Treatment with Diet

Sprint Medical05 Oct, 2022Health

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that mainly occurs in genetically predisposed people. Celiac disease mainly occurs due to the ingestion of gluten (natural protein found in grains like wheat, barley etc.). This ingestion leads to the damage of small intestine. This ingestion damages the lining of the small intestine to an extent where the absorption of some nutrient is prevented. This complication is also called as malabsorption. This is majorly an immunogenic reaction to the eating of food that includes high amount of gluten. In order to avoid this there should be proper gastro care.
