Is Gluten-Intolerance Also An Auto-Immune Disorder?

Is Gluten-Intolerance also considered an auto immune disorder (in addition to Celiac disease)?

I ask because it is referenced as such in this article: Open Original Shared Link

Quote: "With autoimmune disorders, which include gluten intolerance and type 1 diabetes (but not allergies), the body attacks itself rather than the invasive substance, causing permanent damage if allowed to continue."

This author is incorrectly interchanging the terms "gluten intolerance" and "celiac disease". The prevalence figures cited near the end of the article are for celiac disease. The whole article is a bit of a mess, really. They are trying to make the point that eating gluten-free can lead to bad dietary habits in healthy people who are not gluten-sensitive but they do a really poor job of it.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      You should be fine. You may start feeling better within a few days. Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours. Did you get the NeuroMag or another magnesium supplement?

      Hello, @pilber309, welcome to the forum! Are you currently consuming dairy?   You mentioned something about lots of yogurt and cheese, but did you cut it out or are you eating lots of it?   Could you clarify please? Some people with Celiac react to casein, the protein in dairy the same as to gluten with antibodies and villi damage.
