ABOUT CELIAC DISEASE

What is it? Celiac disease is a genetic disorder that affects children and adults. A person with celiac disease is unable to eat foods that contain gluten, which is found in wheat and other grains. The gluten sets off an autoimmune reaction that causes the destruction of the villi in the small intestine. People with celiac disease produce antibodies that attack the intestine, causing damage and illness.

Diagnosis: Celiac disease diagnosis is done with a blood test and a biopsy of the small intestine.

Treatment: There is no cure, but many people diagnosed with celiac disease can lead healthy, normal lives by following a gluten-free diet, which means no products that come from wheat, rye or barley.
