Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the eating of gluten creates damage in the body. When a person who has celiac disease eats gluten, their body creates an immune response that attacks the small intestine. When the body attacks the small intestine, the parts of the body that are involved in nutrient absorption get damaged and then the body cannot properly absorb the nutrients it needs. It is estimated that Celiac Disease affects 1 in 100 people worldwide and that two and one-half million Americans are undiagnosed for this disease.
