More than half of those were consuming gluten accidentally, and 47% were not consistently following a gluten-free diet. Twelve percent had microscopic colitis, 9% had bacterial overgrowth in the small bowel and 9% had refractory celiac diseasehttp://www.celiac.com/articles/22914/1/Most-Cases-of-Non-Responsive-Celiac-Disease-Due-to-Ongoing-Gluten-Consumption/Page1.html
