IBS not celiac sprue: Gut symptoms of pain, diarrhea/constipation with gliadin IgA sounds like celiac sprue-confirm diagnosis with bowel biopsy. Rx is dietary exclusion of gluten-lifelong. Ibs symptoms usually not associated with celiac sprue (gliadin iga). Gluten containing foods also have carbohydrates that may not be fully digested, cause symptoms. Other foods can initiate symptoms too.
