This current news is from the international Celiac Disease Symposium 2015 in Prague. There was research on a urine test for gluten. The test measures fragments called gluten immunogenic peptides(GIPs), which are detectable up to 4 hours after ingestion after eating as little as a crumb of gluten.
The research found a link between gluten in the urine and damage in the gut. Celiac people with no GIPs had no mucosal damage, while those with GIPs had inflammation. Hopefully this test will be available and can be done at home. This would lead to better dietary compliance. This would also help those who still have Celiac symptoms even after following a gluten free diet. These people might be ingesting gluten without knowing it or may be lactose intolerant or have IBS.
The goal for Celiac people is to try to live gluten free, feel and be healthy doing it. :)
