Celiac Disease: Overview
Celiac disease (CD) is a digestive illness that usually affects the small intestine of the human body. It’s a complicated immunological-mediated disorder in which the immune system damages the small bowel when persons with the condition eat gluten. Blood tests reveal specific indicators that aid in diagnosis confirmation. Gluten attacks the immune system and further damages the small intestine in people with celiac disease. When this happens, your body cannot absorb or obtain the essential nutrients.
Women are diagnosed with CD at a higher rate than men, with a female-to-male ratio ranging from 2:1 to 3:1. Except for places with a low frequency of CD-predisposing genes and low gluten consumption, the CD is one of the most common autoimmune illnesses, with a reported prevalence of 0.5–1% of the general population. In addition, pregnant women afflicted by the condition who suffer from vitamin deficiencies are more likely to give birth to babies with congenital disabilities.
