What Is a Celiac?
10. Non-Responsive Celiac
Some people believe they are consuming a gluten-free diet, but they continue to experience the symptoms of celiac. Dietary changes are challenging, especially because there are numerous foods that may be contaminated with gluten, even when the food itself is not a source of the protein.
For those who have non-responsive celiac, bacterial overgrowth in the intestines can occur. It is possible that they may develop microscopic colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. The pancreas may not function as well as it should, and dairy products and sugars can become difficult to digest.
