Gluten-free diet induces regression of T-cell activation in the rectal mucosa of patients with celia

I thought this interesting. Just suppose that we are not celiac but sub clinical,but we still get some of these T cells in the rectal mucosa.Another reason for UC starting distally.  Many improve gluten free. SCD helps many,Paleo helps many. SCD did not work for me.

I've been tested and am not celiac but going gluten-free started my road to remission.
I'm a bit confused by the report however. Why would someone who is celiac be ingesting gluten?
I would have assumed (as reported) that gluten affects the whole digestive system.

From people posting here it seems that gluten negatively affects many of us with UC. They just don't have a test for us yet. I don't need a test to tell me what my gut tells me but will admit it took me years to be able to point the finger at gluten directly, it is confusing when everything seems to make your colon upset.
