What transpires if you stop consuming gluten?

Dr. Howard E. LeWine, M.D., Harvard Health Publishing's chief medical editor with 40 years of experience, provided the response. 

When people who have celiac disease, which is brought on by a gluten allergy, cease consuming gluten, all of their symptoms associated with the disease go completely. A gluten-free diet may help those who are sensitive to gluten but do not have celiac disease experience fewer gastrointestinal issues. Some people also report feeling more energized. Although the majority of those who follow gluten-free diets do not experience vitamin or mineral deficits, taking a daily multivitamin with minerals offers affordable protection.
