Causes and Effects

-Celiac disease involves the immune system but the reaction within the body is different. Celiac disease causes damage to the lining of the intestine

 

-Celiac disease damages the inner lining of the small intestine, and that may lead to difficulty digesting lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products. Following a  allows the intestine to recover, and people with celiac disease may discover that they are able to digest lactose once again.

 

-In people with celiac disease, the body's immune system is triggered by gluten in food. Antibodies attack the intestinal lining, damaging, flattening, or destroying the tiny hair-like projections (villi) in the small bowel. Damaged villi can't effectively absorb nutrients through the intestinal wall. As a result, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals get passed through the stool. Over time, this can lead to malnutrition.

 

-There are no effects of celiac disease.
