7. Lactose Intolerance
Unfortunately for individuals with celiac disease, lactose intolerance can develop due to celiac disease. The intolerance occurs after damage has been inflicted on the individual’s small intestine, and is usually temporary.
Usually, lactose intolerance doesn’t occur unless the individual didn’t adopt a gluten-free diet until later in life, meaning decades of damage is required for it to develop. One study showed that many people with celiac disease don’t begin treating their illness until experiencing lactose intolerance.7‘Celiac Disease and Lactose Intolerance.’ Beyond Celiac, 9 Feb. 2021, www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/related-conditions/lactose-intolerance/.
