Celiac disease is a chronic hereditary autoimmune disease characterized by intolerance to gluten (wheat, rye and barley proteins), i.e. whose intake leads to significant damage to the small intestinal mucosa. Almost all symptoms develop due to impaired absorption of nutrients in the intestines. These substances are necessary for a person to develop and function properly, and in Celiac disease, the organism is not able to provide a sufficient amount through absorption in the small intestine. One of those important substances that is in short supply is iron, whose importance for our body is already known.
This disease is very common, almost 30% of the population is a carrier of genes necessary for the development of the disease, and 1% have developed the disease, there are even more cases than the data show because a large number of people do not show signs of the disease. It affects women more often: the ratio of women to men is 2: 1. Celiac disease can manifest at any age
