Article Synopsis
- Non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) occurs when patients experience ongoing symptoms despite following a gluten-free diet for 6-12 months, with a prevalence found to be about 22% in a systematic review of studies.
- The analysis identified inadvertent gluten exposure as the leading cause of NRCD, affecting one-third of the patients, followed by functional gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome.
- The findings highlight the need for better adherence to gluten-free diets and the development of new treatments to address symptoms persisting from unintentional gluten intake.
