According to some, coeliacs and gluten intolerants sometimes have leaky guts. I have found two sites that explain this if you would like to check up to find what a leaky gut entails.
What is a leaky gut? A leaky gut is in fact when the walls of the intestine develop weaknesses which eventually lead to permanently open doorways in the intestine walls. The intestine is like a water course, which is full of different 'life forms.' Some are particles of fibre, others are fully digested items of fat or protein, etc, there are also partially digested particles of food, bad bacteria and other toxins. In a healthy person only the fully digested food particles (good things) gain access through the doorways but when a person has poorer health then sometimes the doorways may remain fully open and this allows all of the bad things through as well.
Here is a quote from the website - the link for the remainder of this particular article is below:
"Most people have heard of the term "leaky gut" but may not realize that this term refers to how larger molecules may get into the blood when structures called tight junctions that are there to seal the gaps between intestinal cells, have instead, opened up. This opening creates a passage that lacks the same type of regulation that happens when substances move through intestinal cells. Scientists like to call this movement of fluid and its solutes through this opening "para-cellular transport". Other tissues can be leaky like this, too, like the bladder, kidney cells and even the blood brain barrier."

A site dedicated to Leaky Gut Syndrome for those wishing to find out more information on the subject:
Here's another article. To see the full account please see the link below:
"Yet when it comes to eating bread, or grains in general, there’s a little more to the story. How would you feel knowing that grains can not only lead to hyperinsulinism, but they can also make your gut leak. Yep, you too may have already acquired “Leaky Gut Syndrome”. Leaky gut comes in varying degrees from tolerant, to gluten sensitive, to full blown Celiac disease."
