Coeliac disease.

Roy Jamron mentioned this review and I wanted to give further details about
what it tells us:
Panel 7 was a concise explanation of "Causes of Poorly Responsive Coeliac
Disease":  (My comments are that it's interesting to cite what makes for
poor response but several of these, besides lactose intolerance, I hope
researchers may more readily recognize or confirm were caused by untreated
celiac disease initially.)

Wrong diagnosis
Gluten ingestion*
Lactose intolerance*
Pancreatic insufficiency*
Microscopic colitis*
Bacterial Overgrowth
Other food intolerances
(fructose, milk, soy)
Collagenous colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease
Collagenous sprue
Ulcerative jejunitis
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
autoimmune enteropathy
Refractory sprue

*- Quite common.
