Celiac Disease
Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a hereditary condition, meaning it runs in families. When a person with it eats gluten, it can damage the valli on the intestinal lining in the small intestine which help absorb nutrients, so without them, your body can't get enough nutrients. This can cause depression and anxiety, bone and joint pain, canker sores and dry mouth, and irritability, especially in children. Unfortunately, there is no cure, and a person with Celiac disease must refrain from eating gluten for the rest of their life.
