Gluten and POTS
Recent research suggests that POTS is autoimmune in nature. And according to a study published in the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology in December 2016, there’s a potential association with POTS and celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. In the study, UK researchers found that people with POTS had a higher rate of celiac disease and self-reported gluten sensitivity. Four percent of study participants with POTS had celiac disease, compared to 1 percent of the general population.
Super-Sensitive Celiacs
Recent research has shown there’s a sizable group of people with celiac disease who have persistent intestinal damage despite following a gluten-free diet. Roughly 20 percent of kids and 30 to 40 percent of adults have ongoing intestinal damage, whether or not they report symptoms. Of these, just 1 percent have true refractory celiac disease, a serious condition marked by immune cells that are always turned on, regardless of gluten exposure. The rest are so-called non-responders. Many of these are probably unknowingly exposed to gluten cross-contamination on a regular basis. Others, like Perry, may be extremely sensitive to trace gluten.
