The gluten intolerance (celiac disease), is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine causing the immune system to attack the body‘s own tissues. The common symptoms of gluten intolerance include bloating and diarrhea, caused by a reaction to a gluten protein found in many foods. Symptoms such as weight loss, malnutrition and skin disorders can also be associated with gluten intolerance.
