10 Causes of Colon Polyps

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a form of autoimmune disease that would damage your small intestine after consuming foods with gluten, such as rye, barley, or wheat. Many studies have shown that it would affect your gastrointestinal and digestive system, thus increasing the risks of developing colon polyps. Fortunately, you would reverse these effects with early diagnosis and treatment. A gluten-free diet is often the simplest and most effective way to deal with celiac disease. Some bad routines in life such as smoking or a poor diet can also worsen this condition in many people. [4]
