Blood proteins may provide clues to gut health in celiac disease

Blood proteins may provide clues to gut health in celiac disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition.

This means the immune system reacts in a harmful way to gluten.

Gluten is found in some foods, though the source does not name them.

In people with celiac disease, eating gluten causes inflammation in the gut.

The inflammation can damage the intestine and make it harder to absorb nutrients.

Blood proteins may offer clues about gut health in people with the condition.
