Gluten Sensitivity Symptoms

9. Autoimmune Disorders
Celiac disease, which is the worst form of gluten sensitivity, is a type of autoimmune disorder. This means that the patients own immune system is attacking them, despite our immune system having evolved to protect us. People with other autoimmune disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, are more likely to develop celiac disease.
Not all people with gluten sensitivity have celiac disease, and there is no apparent link to other autoimmune conditions for these people. If you do have problems when you eat gluten, you should find out if it is celiac disease if you have not done so already.
