If you suffer from fatigue, muscle weakness, recurring bloating and abdominal pain, unexplained anemia, headaches, depression, osteoporosis, or lactose intolerance, you may have celiac disease (CD).  Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, found in wheat, rye, and barley. It impacts one out of every 133 people in the United States, but 97 percent of those who have celiac disease don’t know it.
