What is another word for celiac disease?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛlɪˌak dɪzˈiːz] (IPA) 
Celiac disease is a medical condition in which an individual is unable to tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. This leads to inflammation and damage to the small intestine. Some synonyms for celiac disease include gluten-sensitive enteropathy, coeliac sprue, and non-tropical sprue. While these terms are used interchangeably, they all describe the same autoimmune disorder that impacts the digestive system. Treatment for celiac disease typically involves a strict gluten-free diet, which eliminates the consumption of bread, pasta, and many other common foods. With the right care and management, individuals diagnosed with celiac disease can restore their intestinal health and lead a normal, healthy life.
