Celiac disease: When gluten is broken up into fragments in the gut, those fragments induce the release of zonulin, which tells the tight junctions to become more permeable http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3458511/.

Their gluten-induced leaky gut is way more leaky than it should be, and it stays leaky long after the gluten has been gone. In fact, a common test for celiac http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10902869 is the very same intestinal permeability assessment I just mentioned.
