Detailed explanation-1: -If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine’s lining and prevents it from absorbing some nutrients (malabsorption).

Detailed explanation-2: -If you have celiac disease, consuming gluten triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the intestines. Even the smallest particle of gluten can cause a serious reaction and intestinal damage that could take months to heal.

Detailed explanation-3: -When people who have celiac disease eat gluten, the result is a reaction in their small intestine that can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating and weight loss. Early diagnosis of celiac disease is important because if left untreated the disorder can result in serious complications.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you have coeliac disease, the mucosa (lining) of your small intestine is damaged. This causes inflammation of the villi, referred to as villous atrophy. As a result of this inflammation, the surface area of your small intestine, which enables the absorption of nutrients and minerals, is seriously reduced.

Detailed explanation-5: -Twenty ppm of gluten is the amount of gluten the FDA allows in a product labeled “gluten-free.” According to the latest research, ingesting 50 mg of gluten per day causes intestinal damage for people with celiac disease.
