Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease where those with it are unable to eat gluten without damage to their small intestine. The damage is caused by the immune system, which attacks the body when food or beverages containing gluten are consumed.
Celiac disease has over 200 symptoms, which can make diagnosis a difficult task. Symptoms can occur all over the body and may also present themselves in a psychological manner, such as mood swings and irritability, which is one of the most common symptoms in children.1Celiac Disease | Gluten Intolerance.

Diagnosis often requires a piece of the small intestine (a biopsy), as the blood test can read negative.
