I have chosen Celiac disease because I myself suffer from Celiacs. I feel like people don’t really know what Celiacs actually is. Also what are side effects, and what it does to your body. I hope I will be able to inform you a little bit more about this disease in these coming paragraphs. Hope you like it! Celiac Disease is a disease that occurs in your stomach and intestines. There are these things called Villi in your small intestines, they are like almost hairs, to absorb the food and protein.

I hope I was able to give you a glimpse of the average life of somebody who suffers with Celiac Disease. It’s getting more and more common to hear about people with Celiacs. More and more gluten free options are being made available! Hope you got to learn something, Thanks for
