What is Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Disease?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, spelt and triticale.
They are prolamins (proteins) that cause damage to the digestive system.
Hairlike structures called villi are in the lining of the small intestine.
It helps to digest the nutrients in your food.
For people who have gluten intolerance or celiac disease,
gluten attacks the villi and makes it flat. Then you cannot absorb
the nutrients in your food. It is actually an autoimmune disorder.
You can also become intolerant to dairy and sugar.
The only way to reverse the process is to stay away from gluten
and the villi will grow back so that you can absorb the nutrients in
your food again.
