Celiac disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten leads to damage of the small intestine. It affects approximately 1 in 100 people worldwide. The only treatment is strict adherence to a lifelong gluten-free diet, which typically reverses symptoms and prevents complications like intestinal lymphoma. Nurses play an important role in educating patients about the disease and diet.
