Introduction
Celiac disease is an abnormal autoimmune reaction that occurs in the bowel system of a person when there is an intake of gluten. It results in several gastrointestinal ailments and serious gastrointestinal tract problems as this condition damages the small intestine. Celiac disease results in symptoms of gastrointestinal disease (diarrhea, bloating, fatigue) in people with this disease. If not treated, it can lead to gastrointestinal infection and other consequences. As a celiac disease management issue, strict gluten-free diet also acts as part of gastroesophageal reflux disease treatments. Since the disorder disrupts digesting, right gastrointestinal infection treatment is needed to stop further unwanted effects. To diagnose and treat an already developing gastrointestinal disease in its early stages, early detection of the symptoms of gastrointestinal disease is vital; with the early diagnosis and treatment of an active gastrointestinal disease, the chance of developing more severe gastrointestinal disease and serious gastrointestinal problems is decreased.
