Coeliac disease is a chronic digestive and autoimmune
disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and
rye and many many more.
When people with coeliac disease consume gluten, their immune system
attacks the small intestine, causing inflammation and damage to the
villi, which are small, finger-like projections that help absorb
nutrients.
This damage impairs the body's ability to absorb essential nutrients,
leading to various symptoms and
potential health complications like cancer.
