<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Sorry if this is a rehashed question, but I haven't been able to find an answer in my reading. I understand that many celiacs are also sensitive or intolerant of other foods like corn, soy, dairy, etc. My question is whether this means that the villi are damaged by these substances, just as they are from wheat, oats, barley and rye, or if they "only" cause discomfort without villi damage. On the same note, I understand that because many newly-diagnosed celiacs are temorarily lactose-intolerant until the lining regenerates, is it damaging to ingest lactose while the lining is reqrowing, or is it just a matter of discomfort?
