Gastric Ulcer
B

Explanation: 

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: -Celiac disease is associated with an inappropriate immune response to a segment of the gluten protein called gliadin . This inappropriate activation of the immune system causes inflammation that damages the body’s organs and tissues and leads to the signs and symptoms of celiac disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gluten. Consuming gluten triggers the abnormal immune system response that causes celiac disease. However, not all people who have the gene variants DQ2 or DQ8 and eat gluten develop the disease.

Detailed explanation-4: -Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide, but only about 30% are properly diagnosed.
