Does anyone know anything about Celiac disease? It is a wheat intolerance and I am wondering if I may have it. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary,


What Happens With Celiac Disease

When individuals with CD ingest gluten, the villi, tiny hair-like projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food, are damaged.
