Gluten-free diet: If you truly have the diagnosis of celiac disease, you must adhere to a life-long gluten-free diet. Studies show 30% increase in all-cause mortality for patients who have celiac disease that are not following a gluten free diet so the effects on the body are far reaching and may contribute to inflammation and autoimmune disease outside the gut.
