    Celiac disease is an immune disorder causing extreme sensitivity to gluten — a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. In people with celiac disease, eating gluten causes diarrhea, abdominal pain, and digestive issues. Celiac disease also causes damage to the small intestine, reducing nutrient absorption which can lead to other symptoms throughout the body. The only current effective treatment for people with celiac disease is a gluten-free diet.
