Celiac: Even small cheats, with true celiac disease, can put you at risk for intestinal damage and some malignancies. Teens don't want to be seen as different than their friends. I see this with teen diabetics, too. Hopefully, her GI tract will give her enough discomfort to have her stop. Continue to educate her and explain how serious it is. If you are seeing other acting out behavior, counseling helps.
