I have yet to see anything on this come across so I'm posting it.


The study was recently published and shows a clear link between the two.

Historically, after diagnosis and the introduction of a gluten free diet, coeliac disease patients who experienced ongoing gastrointestinal symptoms were frequently suspected of failing to comply with their dietary restrictions. 

However, evidence from a new study shows that around one third of these patients actually have a severe pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, which can be successfully managed by enzyme replacement therapy.  This important finding can help substantially improve the quality of life of these patients.
