Explain the difference between Celiac disease and an actual gluten allergy
What will be an ideal response?
Celiac disease is sometimes called gluten allergy, but actually isn't, since IgE does not mediate it. Exposure to gluten–a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley–causes T cells to attack the lining of the small intestine within 2-3 days of consuming it. Extreme inflammation and tissue damage result, interfering with the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals from food.
