Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. In people with celiac disease, gluten causes damage to the small intestine, leading to nutrient malabsorption, fatigue, bloating, and long-term health risks if left untreated. At Rivas Digestive Center, we specialize in the diagnosis and long-term management of celiac disease through blood testing, biopsies, and lifestyle coaching to help patients thrive on a gluten-free diet.
