What Is Celiac Disease?

Celiac Disease is a very serious autoimmune disease. This disease happens to people who are genetically predisposed. When people with this condition eat gluten, damage to their small intestine occurs. About one in a 100 people world wide are living with this disease. There are about two and one half million people are undiagnosed, and are at risk for having long-term health complications. 


What is Gluten? 

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. 


What They Do To The Body

They attack the small intestine, more specifically the area known as, the villi. This is small fingerlike projections that line the small intestine and promote nutrient absorption. When the villi becomes damage, nutrients do not get properly absorbed in the body.

The short answer to this question is yes. This disease can be passed on by a parent or sibling that have the disease.
