    I haven’t found any large scale studies on this, but only a handful of individual case reports suggesting that in rare cases giardia can temporarily mimic celiac (both the serology & villous atrophy) until it is treated. I think this is a complex matter as giardia effects patients differently (most are asymptomatic whilst others suffer from chronic s...
