  2. What Is Celiac Disease? How Does It Occur In The Body? Celiac Disease is: A Digestive Disease that damages your small intestine. When this happens, the person cannot have anything containing gluten [A protein in wheat, rye & barley]. * If gluten is ingested, their immune system responds by damaging or destroying Villi. Villi allows nutrients from food to be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. If you have damaged Villi, then all the nutrients in the food you eat will not be used and you will become malnourished, no matter how much food you take in.
