📋Overview
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It causes immune-mediated damage to the small intestine's lining, leading to malabsorption and various systemic symptoms. The modern preferred term is simply 'celiac disease'; older terms include gluten-sensitive enteropathy or celiac sprue.
