Question

which organ is damaged by gluten in people with celiac disease?
liver
small intestine
colon
stomach

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder. When people with celiac disease consume gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye), the immune system responds by attacking the small intestine. This leads to damage of the villi (small finger - like projections) in the small intestine. The damage impairs the small intestine's ability to absorb nutrients.

Answer:

Small intestine
