What Is an Autoimmune Disease?
5. Crohn’s Disease
It is common to get an upset stomach after eating the wrong type of food. For people with Crohn’s disease, however, there is a much wider range of foods that can cause them discomfort. Chron’s disease is another type of autoimmune disease, and it attacks the digestive system causing some very unwelcome symptoms for the patient.
Another immune condition that affects the digestive system is celiac disease. Celiac disease is triggered by a type of protein known as gluten. When the patient ingests gluten, which is found in some types of grain, it causes the immune system to attack the digestive system.
