Poor absorption of calciumC. Increased levels of glucose in bloodD. Damage in the esophagus caused by increase in acid content of the stomach

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Poor absorption of calcium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Poor absorption of calcium. b/c the villi cells in the small intestine are destroyed by celiac disease, a digestive ailment. The small intestine is lined by projections that resemble fingers called villi, which aid in the body's absorption of nutrients from meals. When these villi are lost, the body cannot effectively absorb nutrients, such as calcium. In those with celiac disease, this can result in impaired absorption of calcium and other minerals.
