Celiac disease is a genetic condition in which the consumption of foods containing gluten (a form of protein found in some grains, e.g., wheat, barley, and rye) triggers an autoimmune response that damages the small intestine. The damage to the intestine makes it hard for the body to absorb nutrients from food, especially fat, calcium, iron, and folic acid, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications such as diarrhea, weight loss, and weakness.

In the United States, the exact number of people who have celiac disease is not known. Recent screening tests have shown that 1 in every 150 people may have conditions that have similar symptoms to Celiac Disease.

Most people who have celiac disease can lead healthy lives. They simply require a diet that excludes foods containing gluten. About 70% of people find that their symptoms diminish within two weeks of beginning a gluten-free diet. Even very small amounts of gluten can cause unpleasant symptoms to recur, so one of the tough challenges those with Celiac Disease face is finding foods that are assuredly free of gluten.
