Definitions
(UK) An auto-immune disease characterised by sensitivity of the lining of the small intestine to gluten, causing a failure to digest food properly.
“Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition. Gluten is seen as an invader (it’s a nasty protein anyway; evolved as a pesticide. It’s nature’s microplastic), and causes the body’s own immune system to attack the gut. You die slowly. Of malnutrition.”
