Condition: Gluten Intolerance
Coeliac disease is a condition that affects the small bowel, caused by an abnormal immune response, or sensitivity, to a dietary protein known as gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley, and possibly oats. Sensitivity to gluten causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine, and sometimes the damage is so severe that the intestine is unable to absorb essential nutrients, leading to malnutrition.
