Duodenum in coeliac disease. Endoscopic view of the interior of the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) of a patient with coeliac disease. Coeliac disease (or gluten enteropathy) is an inflammatory condition where the lining of the intestine reacts to gluten, a protein found in cereals. This causes inflammation, diarrhoea, malabsorption, and mineral and vitamin deficiency. | |
