Coeliac Disease
Coeliac Disease
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal mucosa in the small intestines. This disease is aggravated by gluten found in wheat, barley, oats and rye. Coeliac disease usually begins in the first three years of life. However, it may manifest itself for the first time in adult life too. The commonest features are diarrhoea, weight loss and anaemia. Other features are finger clubbing, dermatitis, amenorrhea and infertility.
Ideally, the body’s immune system is designed to protect it from foreign invaders. But when people with coeliac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system regards gluten as a foreign invader and forms antibodies to attack the intestinal lining. This causes inflammation in the intestines and damages the villi, which are hair-like structures on the lining of the small intestine. Nutrients from food are generally absorbed by the villi – if the villi are damaged an individual cannot absorb nutrients properly and ends up malnourished irrespective of what or how much they eat.
