If you have celiac disease and eat foods with gluten, your immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. This damage keeps your body from taking in many of the nutrients in the food you eat.

Celiac disease can be very serious. Besides stomach pain, it can cause anemia, malnutrition, infertility, a certain skin rash, and other health problems.

The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet...have you consulted a nutritionist yet?

Celiac disease if left untreated can lead to serious health problems including lymphoma. Treated celiac disease, when properly managed on a GF diet usually means that you will have a normal life without further complication.
