My brother has been faithfully following a gluten free diet since being 
diagnosed with celiac 6 years ago.  Over the last few years he's been 
continuing to show symptoms (nausea, diarrhea, blood in his stools, stomach 
tenderness) as if he were ingesting gluten.  Both his kids also eat gluten 
free, and they are careful to prevent any contamination.  He has had further 
testing and they've determined that he has ulcers in his small intestine and 
also his esophagus.  Testing (including swallowing a mini camera) has 
eliminated Crohn's and other similar diseases.  The only explanation doctors 
are able to come up with is that celiac is still causing problems for him, 
despite being gluten free.

Does anyone know of any similar cases where being gluten free isn't enough 
to stop the damage celiac causes?
