2. Eating Gluten
Curiously enough, eating gluten can lead to the development of celiac disease. Studies show that eating more gluten early in life can put those without the previously mentioned gene variants at a higher risk of developing the disorder.3‘Symptoms & Causes of Celiac Disease.’ National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1 Oct. 2020, www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/celiac-disease/symptoms-causes.
Other causes of celiac disease may include certain infections of the body and digestive tract, as well as changes to the body’s microbiome, which includes all the gut flora that assist in the body’s digestive process. However, these causes have not been confirmed as of yet.
