How does gluten affect someone with celiac disease?
If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine’s lining and prevents it from absorbing some nutrients (malabsorption).
Can you eat small amounts of gluten if you have celiac disease?
“If you have celiac disease and are looking at foods that contain gluten, it’s not like, ‘Oh, I can eat a little bit of this,’” said Safder. “The answer is that you can eat none of it because as long as you’re having small amounts of it, your immune system will remain activated and the injuries will continue.”
What can Celiac not eat?
If you have coeliac disease, you’ll no longer be able to eat foods that contain barley, rye or wheat, including farina, graham flour, semolina, durum, cous cous and spelt. Even if you only consume a small amount of gluten, such as a spoonful of pasta, you may have very unpleasant intestinal symptoms.
What happens if a celiac cheats?

Can a person with celiac disease eat gluten?
Our bodies release a variety of different enzymes to “chop up” or break down proteins in our stomach but they cannot break down gluten. Long chains of undigested gluten protein leave the stomach and reach the small intestine. While most people can handle these undigested gluten protein chains, those with celiac disease cannot.
Are there any gluten free enzymes for celiac disease?
This can lead to harmful consequences in the long term. There’s no good evidence that the enzymes currently on the market (GliadinX, Gluten Digest, Gluten Rid, Gluten Cutter and others*) can protect people with celiac disease from even small amounts of gluten.
