Final answer:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by a reaction to gluten, damaging the intestines' villi. Food allergies trigger immediate symptoms through antibodies attacking specific allergens.


Explanation:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues due to a reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. This results in damage to the villi in the small intestine, hindering nutrient absorption.

On the other hand, food allergies like allergies to lactose or histamine are triggered by antibodies attacking allergens in foods, leading to immediate and acute symptoms rather than chronic damage like in celiac disease.
