Celiac disease causes impaired absorption and digestion of nutrients through the small intestine. Symptoms include frequent diarrhea , weight loss , iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis . A skin condition dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with celiac disease.

Treatment is to avoid gluten in the diet. Medications may be used for refractory (stubborn) celiac disease.
