Since celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder, people with celiac disease produce higher than normal levels of certain antibodies (anti-gliadin, anti-endomysium and anti-tissue transglutaminase). This is because their immune systems may recognize gluten as a foreign substance and produce elevated levels of antibodies to get rid of it.
