Celiac disease<\/strong> is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein present in wheat, barley, rye, and, in some cases, oats that have been contaminated. Although it primarily damages the small intestine, the condition can also cause symptoms in other parts of the body. This disease develops in genetically predisposed individuals when their immune system reacts abnormally to gluten, leading to inflammation and long-term complications if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone with celiac disease<\/strong> consumes gluten, the immune system triggers an abnormal response that inflames and damages the intestinal villi<\/strong>, the tiny structures responsible for nutrient absorption. As a result, the body can experience malabsorption, nutritional deficiencies, and even systemic complications if the condition is not properly managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disease is estimated to affect approximately <\/span>1% of the world’s population<\/mark><\/a><\/b> although many cases remain undiagnosed due to the variety and sometimes absence of its symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
