  3. What is Celiac Disease? • Celiac disease is a permanent, genetic disorder that is characterized by an autoimmune reaction to the ingestion of gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye and barley). This reaction causes damage to the absorptive structures in the small intestine (villi) and ultimately results in: • Conditions of malnutrition • Potential damage to any organ system • There is no cure, the only known treatment is the complete removal of gluten from the diet.

  4. Epidemiology • Affects all cultures and nationalities • 1 in 133 individuals in the U.S. are believed to have celiac disease. • Only a small percentage of individuals know that they have celiac disease and it has been reported to take up to 11 years to diagnose.
