Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten is ingested. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Symptoms of celiac disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, and weight loss. It is important to get tested for celiac disease if you have any of these symptoms.
