Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition, in which the affected person's own immune system works against the body. This autoimmune response is triggered when one eats gluten. Celiac disease leads to malnourishment, loss of bone density, fertility issues, neurological diseases, and sometimes even cancer. Celiac disease can lead to both weight gain as well as weight loss and is also associated with long-term digestive problems.
