designed for protecting it from the foreign encroacher. When the people having celiac disease eat

the foods that contain gluten, the immune system begins to forms the antibodies to gluten that attack

the lining of intestine. It causes the inflammation in intestines and also damages villi which are hair-

like structures over lining of small intestine. Moreover, nutrients from the food are usually absorbed

by villi. If villi get damaged, person is unable to absorb the nutrients properly which finally ends up
