What it is?
!Gluten intolerance is when a person cannot
tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat,
rye, oats and barley products.
Coeliac disease
Coeliac disease is not an allergy. It is an
autoimmune disease, which means that the
body produces antibodies that attack its own
tissues.
Essentially the body is attacking itself every
time a person with celiac consumes gluten.
