Understanding Gluten/ Wheat Sensitivity & Celiac Disease
Gluten-related symptoms can have more than one cause. For some people, gluten itself triggers an immune response. For others, different components of wheat, the way the grain is processed, or changes in digestion may play a role. And with celiac disease, the issue goes beyond digestive discomfort. The immune system can damage the lining of the small intestine and affect how well nutrients are digested and absorbed.
