Answer:
A. less absorption of nutrients
Explanation:
The villi helps to absorb nutrients. When people with celiac disease eat foods with gluten, their immune system reacts by damaging the villi. Because of the damage, the villi are unable to properly absorb iron, vitamins, and other nutrients.

Answer:
A. less absorption of nutrients
Explanation:
- Eating gluten sets off an immunological reaction in your small intestine if you have celiac disease.
- This response wears down the lining of your small intestine over time and prevents some nutrients from being absorbed (malabsorption).
- Gluten-containing foods trigger an immunological response in celiac disease sufferers that damages the villi.
- The harm prevents the villi from effectively absorbing iron, vitamins, and other nutrients.
- Numerous symptoms as well as other health issues could result from this.
- Your small intestine cannot adequately absorb nutrients from meals if your villi are damaged.
- This may eventually result in malnutrition, loss of bone density, miscarriage, infertility, or even neurological disorders or specific malignancies.
