Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease that is triggered by the consumption of gluten. There has been some evidence herpetiformis is related to gluten intolerance. Gluten is protein found in grains like wheat, rye, barley and other related grains. Patients with celiac disease the lining of the small intestines is injured by gluten. Injured intestines results in weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps and nutritional deficiencies. If gluten is removed from the diet the intestinal lining has a chance to heal.
