Celiac Disease with Dr. James Smith Celiac disease is a digestive condition triggered by the consumption of the protein gluten, which is primarily found in foods containing wheat, barley or rye. People with celiac disease who eat foods containing gluten experience an immune reaction in their small intestines, causing damage to the inner surface of the small intestine and an inability to absorb certain nutrients. Celiac disease can cause a decreased absorption of nutrients that can deprive your body of vital nourishment. Please join Dr. Smith as he discusses effective management of Celiac Disease.
