Additional sensitivities
Even after the establishment of GF diet, one or more of the original symptoms may continue. If this happens, it is important to consult your physician because there may be additional food sensitivities or other health considerations involved.
Lactose Intolerance
It is common condition in those who have CD. If lactase is not present to assist digestion of the milk sugar, lactose, the body responds with symptoms such as bloating, gas and diarrhea. Lactose intolerance can be simply monitored during a usual physician visit.
Molds
Sensitivity to food and air-borne molds is also common for those patients who diagnosed CD. This is likely to include such common foods as mold-based cheeses, mushrooms, yeast and yeast products and xanthan, which may be used as a binder in some gluten-free breads.
Food Allergies
A lesser number of celiac patients tell that one or more food allergies also influence them. About 90% of food-based allergies are connected with eight main categories: milk, soy, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and wheat. Remember that one can have an allergy to wheat and not have celiac disease.
For each of these conditions you have to make necessary dietary changes and related adjustments with the help of your monitoring physician. But for the majority of celiac patients the gluten-free diet is the entire treatment.
If symptoms go on to persist after adopting a GF diet and checking for additional sensitivities, further refinement may be needed.
