Up to 30% of individuals with Celiac disease experience ongoing abdominal complaints despite following a gluten-free diet. Here are some potential reasons, as noted in the scientific literature:
Inadvertent gluten exposure (up to 30% of cases)
Histamine intolerance
Lactose intolerance
Fructose malabsorption
Irritable bowel syndrome (often caused by SIBO and improved with low-FODMAP diet)
Eosinophilic esophagitis
H. pylori infection
Additional food sensitivities or allergies
Nickel sensitivity (improved with a low-nickel diet)
