Bad: The slightest bit of gluten can make you very sick and tear up your gut, causing diarrhea, malabsorption, and other related symptoms.

Sad way to go: True gluten enteropathy will cause the linings in your small intestines to become scarred impair nutrient absorption.The irritation will trigger abdominal cramps & episodes of watery diarrhea.If you want to live this way skip the diet.Even if you follow the diet closely, there are other agents, like #40 red food dye, various unlisted foods,that you may also be reacting to that prevent nl digestion
