Celiac is an allergy to wheat & gluten. Symptons can include low energy levels, tiredness, cramping, abdominal discomfort, diarhea, etc. Gluten is found in many of the foods we eat regularlily. If you do a web search you'll find allot more information. Hope this helps. Good luck

It's a chronic digestive disorder by an intolerance to gluten. Symptoms can range from damage to the small intestine to malabsorption to diahrrea & food allergies. The body responds to wheat & gluten as if it were an antigen & launches an immune-system attack. If left untreated, it can be life-threatening.
Contact www.celiac.org for more info.

Just lost everything I typed!!!!!!!!!!! Try again.
It is generally an intolerance to certain foods, often wheat and dairy products. Diabetics often go this route.
My brother was diagnosed the same earlier this year.
I work with a research and development company who are the pioneers of the latest science to rock the world (no bull).
