Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. It doesn't allow you to eat gluten, which is contained in wheat, barley, and rye. (So no Pizza, pasta, bread, waffles, etc. unless they are gluten free). If you do eat gluten when you have celiac, your immune system attacks your own body and destroys parts of your body that help you to absorb nutrients.

What does patent celiac mean?

"Patent celiac" typically refers to a condition where an individual has a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease but may not exhibit the full range of symptoms or may have mild symptoms. This term highlights that the celiac disease is present (patent) but does not manifest in the typical severe form. Such cases can sometimes lead to delayed diagnosis, as individuals may not recognize their symptoms as related to gluten intake. It's important for those with patent celiac disease to follow a strict gluten-free diet to prevent long-term complications.
