Celiac disease, also known as gluten enteropathy, is a gastroenterological disease in which ingestion of the wheat protein gluten causes the body to form an immune response to the cells of the small intestine.

The most common symptoms of celiac disease include weight loss, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and pain, and the consequences of vitamin deficiency, including fatigue due to iron deficiency.

If you think that you have celiac disease, you should see your primary care provider, who can order specific testing for this condition.
