None. Nobody died from Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease isn't an actual disease its when your allergic to wheat.
Actually you can die from it, but its rare..really rare. and if out of the small chance, when someone does die from it, most likely it caused by either being undiagnosed and untreated, or they never stopped eating gluten, and it caused either sever malnutrition or other complications such as liver failure to cause death. but if you have it and are worried about this, don't be. i have it too, and trust me, if you are not eating it, you should be perfectly fine. if you think you are completely gluten free and still feel bad, first thing you should do is make sure its not in your lotions, makeup,shampoo,conditioner, other hair products (i realized it was in a TON of shampoos and stuff i used almost every day...sickening lol) and other stuff. hope this helps :)
God bless-livie
