Many, many more people have gluten intolerance, than those that have celiac. Celiac is just the tip of the iceberg, gluten intolerance is the ice berg. I read that 1 in 7 have gluten intolerance, and of course, most do not even know it.
You can have gluten intolerance and not have celiac, but you can't be celiac without having gluten intolerance...so which came first, the intolerance, of course. Gluten intolerance also causes vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
