Gluten is the protein found in grains such as rye, barley, wheat, and triticale. Foods with gluten cause food intolerance for consumers who have celiac disease, an autoimmune and inherited dysfunction in which gluten weakens the small intestine. Experts estimate that Celiac disease affects 1% of healthy people in the United States. That means at least 3 million people in the United States have celiac disease, with 97% of them undiagnosed.
