- Did you know that around 75% of people with celiac disease have not yet been diagnosed?
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the ingestion of gluten triggers an immune response that inflames and damages the lining of the small intestine. This damage prevents the proper absorption of essential nutrients, which can lead to various health complications if not diagnosed and treated comprehensively.
Dr. Just, gastroenterology specialist at CreuBlanca, explains in this video what gluten is, what celiac disease entails, and its main symptoms, helping you to recognize it for early diagnosis and proper management.
