Gas
Excess gas is a frequent digestive concern for persons with celiac disease who are untreated. According to one study, around 47% of 130 children with celiac disease exhibited increased flatulence. Similarly, previous research of 193 persons with celiac disease discovered that around 7% had extra gas. Keep in mind, however, that there are several sources of gas. Only two persons tested positive for celiac disease in a survey of 150 patients who complained of excessive gas.
Other, more common causes of gas include:
- constipation
- indigestion
- swallowing air
- conditions like lactose intolerance and IBS
