What is celiac disease which Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu was referring to
Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu, has been in the headlines for a variety of reasons following her global victory at the Miss Universe beauty contest. Harnaaz has received various reactions from her fellow peers since she returned home, whether it's because of her stance on the hijab issue or her appropriate response to body shaming.
When Harnaaz graced the Lakme Fashion Week runway, trolls were out in force. For the Shivan and Naresh Show, she wore the 'Spezia Micro-Velvet Gown with CrysMesh halter accents' outfit. She wore John Jacobs EyeWear with the outfit.
Harnaaz drew the attention of fashionistas for both positive and bad reasons while on the ramp.Harnaaz was viciously harassed for gaining weight soon after the show's photos went public.She recently spoke at an event about her recent weight gain, the trolls, and how people are confused about beauty pageants.
"Many people are unaware that I am gluten intolerant," she remarked, adding that she also suffers from celiac disease. Harnaaz, a Punjabi by birth, is allergic to a certain type of protein present in wheat, barley, and rye as a result of her health condition. Gluten is a protein found in wheat that gives it its chewy feel.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's own immune system fights the patient. When gluten is consumed, an autoimmune reaction is induced.Celiac disease causes malnutrition, bone loss, reproductive troubles, neurological illnesses, and, in rare cases, malignancy.Many people are unaware they have this condition until it has progressed to a later stage due to a lack of awareness.
