Coeliac disease or celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small bowel that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is caused by an abnormal reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat. Upon exposure to gliadin, the body's immune system cross-reacts with the enzyme tissue transglutaminase, causing flattening of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. The only effective treatment is a diet, lifelong in principle, from which gluten is absent.
This condition has several other names, including: cœliac disease (with ligature), c(o)eliac sprue, non-tropical sprue, gluten enteropathy, and gluten intolerance.
Signs and symptoms
The diverse range of coeliac disease symptoms may make it difficult to diagnose. There are over two hundred symptoms that have been identified; not all people have the same symptoms; some people have no symptoms at all; and the symptoms may mimic other diseases. Comprehensive lists are available. More on [ Coeliac disease ]
