Celiac Disease is caused by an immune-based reaction to gluten, which is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. Normally, the villi (tiny stalks in the small bowel) make it possible for the small bowel to absorb nutrients from the food you eat. But Celiac Disease damages the villi and prevents your body from absorbing the nutrients you need.
