Ginger Nut
(pronounced ‘see-liac’), a serious illness where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues when gluten is eaten. This causes damage to the lining of the gut and means that the body cannot properly absorb nutrients from food. It is not an allergy or food intolerance. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Some people may also be sensitive to oats
Don't know much about it but they do look very similar? Maybe Coeliac is when the damage is done and Gluten is the cause ?
Think he wants a yes no on the likelihood of passing a class one if diagnosed with the condition
