Celiac disease is one such known autoimmune disease which is activated by dietary gluten in genetically predisposed people. Globally, the celiac disease accounts for the prevalence ranging from 8 to 200 per 1,00,000 population each year. Treatment of celiac disease using medical nutrition therapy dates back to many decades. The foods comprising gluten contain epitopes where deamidation is crucial for the binding of DQ2 and T-cell recognition.
Hence, the disruption of the above process leads to the damage which is caused by celiac disease. The malabsorption of essential nutrients can trigger other complications in pregnancy, bone health, anemia, etc.
