What is the difference between celiac disease and gluten intolerance?*

I still don't know the difference between them--they say they are different but how are they?

I do not understand either what the difference is between them!! Can someone clarify please

You need to do some more research. Celiacs, allergies and intolerance do not all damage the gut. Celiacs is the only one that damages the gut and does not allow nutritional absorption. Food allergies cause allergy type symptoms-skin rashes, itchy skin, and/or tummy problems. Intolerance bother the tummy, cause no damage, and go away once food has passed through.

Um I hate to differ with you L. Rensch. I have gluten intolerance not celiac and I can officially tell you that as of now when I ingest gluten it takes 3 days for my tummy to be able to handle food well enough to feel normal again.

I just found out I'm. Allergic too!! It also takes about 3 days for my tummy to stop hurting!!

Isn't 3 days how long it typically takes your body to digest and expel food? Unless you have a particularly fast metabolism, it really is about getting the gluten out of your system whether your have an intolerance OR an allergy.

I have heard diverticulitis is the after effect of years of gluten intolerance.....
