The author states that 'only 2 out of 23 patients had villous atrophy'. That is nearly ten percent! In my opinion, if ten percent of people with celiac disease will get villous atrophy from eating wheat starch, that proves that it is NOT safe.<br/><br/>

Also, since the accuracy of the best tests is still very low, we don't know how many of the control group actually do have Celiac Disease. Additionally, there is no indication that ANY of the control group were biopsied. Since a considerable percentage of people with Celiac Disease display no symptoms, using that as the yardstick has a large margin for error. The non-Celiac group needed to undergo rigorous testing to be certain that they all are indeed not Celiac. And, since the Celiac patients did have psychological effects, which IS a symptom, then apparently they were better off without the wheat starch in their diet. Saying that the GSRS score didn't differ from that of the control group doesn't mean there wasn't any effect, but that both groups experienced similar effects.<br/><br/>
