What is Celiac Disease? People who has allergy to gluten suffer from celiac disease. In people with celiac disease, gluten attacks the small intestine lining and damages the tiny villi. The function of the villi is to absorb nutrients and with damaged villi the body is not able to take in enough vitamins and minerals which result in celiac disease. Without villi, a person becomes malnourished–regardless of the quantity of food eaten.

Living a gluten-free lifestyle can seem to be nearly impossible, but because it is gaining popularity it’s getting easier.
