K90.0: Coeliac disease
You are not tolerating gluten. Because of that, you cannot properly absorb nutrients from food.
The intestines are made up of the small intestine and the large intestine or colon. Most of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. The large intestine (colon) is where water and salt are withdrawn from the stool. The last segment of the large intestine (colon) is the rectum. Stool then leaves the body through the anus.
You are not tolerating gluten. Gluten is a protein that occurs in wheat. But gluten also occurs in other types of grain such as spelt and oats. When you consume gluten, your small intestine is becoming inflamed. If the small intestine is inflamed, it can no longer absorb nutrients so well. You may then feel exhausted and lose weight. Your bowel movements may change. For example, you may have diarrhea. You may also have flatulence and abdominal pain. Your skin may also change.
