Celiac Disease: Celiac disease is caused by an allergy to a wheat protein (gliadin) found in wheat, rye and barley (and possibly some oats). It is an allergy due to your blood cells causing inflammation in the intestines and is not due to allergic antibodies (ige); ige can cause a different type of wheat allergy problem. Candida yeast can cause intestinal issues but is not related to celiac disease.
