I mean, raw vegetables are probably better for you than TV dinners. If you don’t completely heal from Celiac disease, you’re going to die much sooner than healthy people. In fact, one of the largest cohort studies on Celiac disease patients and mortality published in the Journal of The American Medical Association found that:
