Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. It primarily affects the small intestine, leading to villous atrophy, malabsorption, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, and weight loss, though some patients may be asymptomatic.
