Condition
Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, turns the immune system against the small intestine's lining, impairing nutrient absorption. Evidence is strongest for iron and vitamin D, since the injured gut absorbs both poorly, and anemia was found in roughly 10 to 40 percent of people at diagnosis. Still, a strict gluten-free diet remains the only established approach, and evidence is limited for omega-3s.
