Medical Definition of Celiac sprue. Celiac sprue: An immune disorder whereby the small intestine is injured when exposed to gluten, a protein found in wheat and related grains. Celiac sprue causes impaired absorption and digestion of nutrients through the small intestine. Symptoms include frequent diarrhea and weight loss.
Individuals with diabetes also have an increased risk of celiac sprue. In this condition, an allergy to wheat gluten develops, leading to inflammation and thinning of the mucosa of the small intestine. Why this association occurs is not clear. However, sprue may lead to diarrhea, weight loss, and malabsorption of food.
