Coeliacs

Definition

Coeliacs, also known as coeliac disease, is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the consumption of gluten triggers an immune response, causing damage to the small intestine. People with coeliacs are unable to tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This condition requires a lifelong gluten-free diet to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
