FAQ

Is it possible that I have celiac disease as well as lactose intolerance?
It is possible.  25% of patients who have been clinically identified as lactose intolerant, have celiac disease. In Canada, that means about 73,500 people have undiagnosed celiac disease which is the causal agent for their lactose intolerance.   If you think you have celiac disease, you should speak with your doctor.
