Celiac disease called gluten-sensitive enteropathy is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine's lining and prevents it from absorbing some nutrients. The intestinal damage often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications. There's no cure for celiac disease, but following a gluten-free diet can help manage symptoms and promote intestinal healing.
“Cereals made of corn, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, sorghum, millet, amaranth, teff, rice and gluten-free oats are naturally gluten-free,” says Suzanne Dixon, RD, with The Mesothelioma Center in Orlando, Florida.
