Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It gives dough its elasticity and helps bread to rise. However, some people are intolerant to gluten, a condition known as celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small intestine when gluten is consumed. Symptoms of celiac disease can include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue.
