Coeliac (or celiac) disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine. Symptoms commonly include chronic diarrhoea and fatigue. If you think you have it you should go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a doctor) for a diagnosis and advice about treating and living with the condition.

The disease is caused by a reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat and similar proteins found other common grains such as barley and rye. If you have the disease, no medication exists that will prevent damage or prevent the body from attacking the gut when gluten is present, the treatment (which is effective) is a strict adherence to a life-long, gluten-free diet.
