Celiac disease (gluten sensitive enteropath)y is a condition triggered by the injestion of grains containing “gluten”. In other words, the immune system of a person who has the celiac condition reacts adversely to the presence of gluten in his or her food, causing damage to the inside lining of the small bowel which decreases a person’s ability to take in nutrients including: folate, calcium, iron, Vitamin D, fat, protein and other food items.
