Overview

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system is triggered by a reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. This reaction leads to damage to the small intestine, which is responsible for the absorption of nutrients in the body. Symptoms may include abdominal pain and bloating, fatigue, anemia, and weight loss, and may lead to long-term health problems for those left untreated. Celiac Disease is estimated to affect up to 1% of the population worldwide, and can be diagnosed by a combination of symptoms, a blood test, and an intestinal biopsy. Treatment consists of eliminating all gluten from the diet to allow the small intestine to heal and the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals to occur. With the rise of gluten-free and plant-based diets, more and more people are being diagnosed and living healthier lives with Celiac Disease.
