Hi, I want to know if celiac acid is a reaction to an autoimmune disease?

@sangeeta Hi Celiac disease is a disease of the small intestine in which damage to the lining of the small intestine leads to malabsorption of minerals and nutrients. The destruction of the inner lining of the small intestine in celiac disease is caused by an immunological reaction to gluten, a family of proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats.
