More about Coeliac disease
If you have coeliac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine’s lining and prevents the absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption). The intestinal damage often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications.In children, malabsorption can affect growth and development, in addition to the symptoms seen in adults.
