Celiac disease is a common yet frequently undiagnosed autoimmune digestive disorder triggered by an allergic reaction to gluten, leading to damage of the small intestine's lining. Symptoms include diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal bloating, and pain. This disorder cannot heal itself, and patients require specific medications to manage deficiencies in calcium, folate, iron, and vitamins B-12, D, and K. While celiac disease is manageable through a strict gluten-free diet, it is not curable.
