I think you're right about that since peeling lips is a less common symptom of celiac disease. Since I have had it for so many years undiagnosed and ate gluten all day long, I may have done more damage to my intestine to others. Hence, I probably hd more damage in intestine whch absorbs different vitamins/minerals. I was surprised to learn from a doctor that different parts of the intestine absorb different vitamins/minerals. I had a zinc deficiency with a problem absorbing vitamin A. Although blood tests show that you may have normal levels of vitamin in your blood, they do not show if you're absorbing it.
