"Study Reveals Gluten Sensitivity May Mask Other Digestive Issues"

A new study suggests that gluten sensitivity may often be a misdiagnosis, with many individuals experiencing symptoms linked to other digestive issues rather than coeliac disease.

• Research indicates that most individuals who believe they have non-celiac gluten sensitivity may not be reacting to gluten itself but rather to other components in their diet.
• The study highlights that coeliac disease is a specific autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, causing damage to the gastrointestinal tract, but many experience symptoms without this diagnosis.
• Findings suggest that other factors, such as FODMAP carbohydrates, could be responsible for digestive issues resembling non-celiac gluten sensitivity, highlighting the complexity of gut health.
