I'm not celiac but have several food sensitivities that lead me through friends to the book(s) of Wheat Belly, Wheat Belly Total Health and Wheat Belly 10 Day Detox. In those books (which has had a lot of research) it's been found that it's mostly all grains that affect folks. It's the gliadin in gluten that's the culpret. I highly recommend the books! I've been doing this way of eating (it's not a fad and it's not a 'diet') for several years and have been gradually regaining my health. I found I also had "leaky gut" along with my grains sensitivities---other sesitivities to dairy, sugar etc. What many folks do not know is gluten is found in a plethora of food items. It's hidden many times...think of your packaged seasonings, prepared foods, frozen foods, ice cream, shredded cheeses and more. This makes it sound like it's hard to find "good" food but that's not true!! This 'conversation' makes it too difficult to give ALL the information so I'd recommend doing your own research. There are sites on FB and the internet as well. Some of it contridicts this whole thing as a fad and won't be factual. I'm just one of thousands of people who will attest that this is a movement rather than a fad. Celiac though is also a very serious autoimmune disease that needs to be taken care of...and my way of eating is one way to do it!!
