Introduction
If food is our source of energy, what happens when our bodies cannot absorb it properly? The small intestines are responsible for absorption of the proper nutrients our bodies need for survival. When our small intestines are damaged, this absorption does not occur properly. This is what happens in people who have celiac disease.
