Celiac disease causes a severe immune reaction to gluten, a protein in wheat and other foods. Diarrhea or loose stool is a common side effect when a person with Celiac's consumes gluten. Other, less extreme forms of gluten intolerance -- non-celiac gluten sensitivities -- can also cause diarrhea and other adverse gastrointestinal symptoms.
