Reviewer's report:
1. Why only 41.9% of the patients were submitted to intestinal biopsy?

nutritional status of the patients and the disturbances?
3. There is no mention about the same complaints before and after a gluten-free

4. The crucial point is that the authors do not try to explain the findings:
mechanisms or theories about the subject!
