Gluten intolerance, also known as celiac disease, is a digestive disease that can cause severe damage to the small intestine. When a person with gluten intolerance eats even a small amount of gluten, a group of proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley, it triggers an immune response in the small intestine. This immune response attacks and damages the intestinal walls. Eventually, damage to the small intestines can make the body unable to absorb nutrients, leading to other complications such as malnutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and decreased bone density.
