                                As an autoimmune disease affecting approximately 1% of people globally, celiac disease is triggered by gluten and leads to damage in the small intestine where gluten fragments are absorbed. Understanding the precise location and mechanisms involved in this absorption process is crucial for recognizing the difference between a normal digestive response and a damaging autoimmune reaction.
