Included is the disorder gluten-induced enteropathy.Disorder of children and adults caused by inability to tolerate gluten (wheat protein) and characterized by diarrhea (stools are pale, frothy, and foul-smelling). loss of weight, abdominal distension, and lethargy. It is often accompanied by lactose (milk sugar) intolerance. Treatment is a high-protein, gluten-free and, if necessary, milk-free diet.A rare intestinal disease that usually develops in small children who are unable to digest the cereal protein gluten.A disorder in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged by an immune reaction to gluten, a protein found in grains, such as wheat, rye, and barley. Celiac disease leads to malabsorption syndrome (the impaired absorption of nutrients in the small intestine). Celiac disease is also known as gluten intolerance, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and non-tropical sprue.A condition in which the small intestine fails to digest and absorb food. It affects 0.1-0.2% of the population and is due to sensitivity of the intestinal lining to the protein gliadin, which is contained in gluten in the germ of wheat, oats, and rye and causes atrophy of the digestive and absorptive cells of the intestine. Symptoms include stunted growth, distended abdomen, and pale frothy foul-smelling stools; the disease can be diagnosed by biopsy of the jejunum and is treated successfully by a strict and lifelong gluten-free diet.This is a medical condition classified as an autoimmune disorder, which arises due to the body's immune response to gliadin, a protein found in gluten.The inability to digest the protein found in wheat, known as gluten, results in symptoms such as weight loss, decreased energy levels, and the presence of pale, malodorous stools.Celiac disease is a childhood condition where the child is born with a digestive defect that hinders the absorption of fat and calcium from their food. Symptoms include the production of bulky, grayish stools with unusually high fat content, general bodily wasting, a distended abdomen, porous bones, and stunted growth. In the past, treatments involved peculiar diets made of apple or banana pulp. However, current treatments have shown dramatic improvements through the use of crude liver extract injections and high doses of vitamin B, in combination with a gluten-free diet. The condition is also known as Gee's disease, Heuber-Herter's disease, or intestinal infantilism."}
