Coeliac Disease

Coeliac Disease

Coeliac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This condition damages the small intestine's lining, leading to nutrient absorption issues. Symptoms include diarrhoea, bloating, and weight loss. Managing coeliac disease requires a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. Diagnosis involves blood tests and biopsies.
