Detailed explanation-1: -Celiac disease damages the villi, leaving your body unable to absorb nutrients necessary for health and growth. Celiac disease, sometimes called celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

Detailed explanation-2: -When people with celiac disease eat foods with gluten, their immune system reacts by damaging the villi. Because of the damage, the villi are unable to properly absorb iron, vitamins, and other nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Villi are small, finger-like projections in the small intestines that help you absorb nutrients. Villous atrophy is the blunting or flattening of the villi that can be caused by the damage done by the immune system in a person with celiac disease after ingesting gluten.
