Celiac disease is a digestive disease where people cannot tolerate gluten, which damages the small intestine and prevents nutrient absorption. Symptoms vary but include abdominal issues and can also affect other parts of the body. It is treated through a strict lifelong gluten-free diet to heal the intestine and prevent further damage and complications. Proper management requires eliminating all gluten sources and working with a dietitian given the many foods that contain gluten.
