Tag: Gluten allergy

Gluten allergy, also known as celiac disease, is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine lining. This leads to malabsorption of nutrients and various digestive symptoms. A strict gluten-free diet is essential for managing this condition and preventing long-term complications.
