Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects about 1 in 100 people worldwide. When someone with celiac eats gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye), their immune system attacks the small intestine — leading to inflammation and difficulty absorbing nutrients.

Common symptoms can include:�
🍞 Digestive issues (bloating, diarrhea, constipation)�
😴 Fatigue�
🦴 Bone or joint pain�
💇 Hair loss or skin rashes

The only treatment is a strict gluten-free diet — which allows the intestine to heal and symptoms to improve.

✨ If you have ongoing digestive symptoms, talk to your doctor about screening for celiac disease. Early diagnosis can prevent long-term complications and help you feel your best.
