People who have celiac disease have an abnormal immune reaction to gluten. They cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley.

like stricklydating wrote it is a gluten intolerance.

a trial of a gluten free diet can give and idea if that is the cause. formally an endoscopy and small bowel biopsy are diagnostic
