Doctors now believe that one in 133 Americans have celiac disease, though only one in 4,700 gets diagnosed. Celiac disease is an intestinal disorder where, when you eat wheat, barley or rye, your immune system creates anti-bodies that attack the small intestine. The results are devastating and painful. Celiac is more common than diabetes and hypertension, but because the means to diagnose it are relatively recent, finding reliable information about the disease has been elusive — both for patients and their doctors. Gut Reaction is the story of how celiac disease played itself out in the lives of 10 people.
