If you have celiac disease, it means you have an intolerance to the protein called gluten which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oat products (if processed in the same factory or grown in the same field as wheat, barley, or rye). Celiac disease is caused by the gluten damaging the small intestine which causes malabsorbtion of nutrients from food. You will need to go on a strict gluten free diet the rest of your life which means avoiding bread, pasta and all wheat, barley, or rye products or derivatives.
the good news is that there are many gluten free foods like rice and rice based flour that you can eat instead of wheat flour.
