Stay Away From Gluten

Celiac disease occurs due to excess consumption of food containing gluten. Gluten is a kind of protein found in wheat and barley and foods such as bread, pasta, noodles, beer, cookies, muffins, cakes, white flour, fried foods, etc. Celiac disease is a digestive and autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small intestine. The damage makes it hard for the body to absorb nutrients, especially fat, calcium, and iron. It is important to avoid food with gluten because celiac disease can lead to iron deficiency, anemia, and osteoporosis.

Celiac disease is hereditary, it runs in families. Sometimes the disease is triggered or becomes active for the first time after surgery, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.
