Why?

A person can potentially have an allergy to any protein. Whereas
only certain subtypes of gluten protein cause celiac, which is not an
allergy. So one would expect that more subtypes of gluten protein
are potential allergens, beyond those that are responsible for celiac.

I'm not saying your statement is definitely untrue, but I don't know
why it would be definitely true.
