Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products!
The symptoms cam be very painful like bloating and cramps, constipation,chronic diarrhea and weight loss!
People with celiac disease have to read very well the food labels and stay away from wheat, barely and rye!
Another reason people should stay away of wheat is that they might be intolerant to it!
