Celiac disease is an allergic reaction to eating gluten that damages the villi in the small intestine and prevents nutrient absorption. It causes malnutrition regardless of how much food is eaten, as well as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. While not fatal, it can increase cancer and nerve damage risks if untreated. A gluten-free diet is the primary treatment. Blood tests and intestinal biopsies can diagnose celiac disease, which affects Europeans, Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and 1 in 133 Americans. The cause is unknown but the immune system response prevents villi from absorbing nutrients from food.
