What is Gluten Sensitivity?

Gluten sensitivity can be defined as the body’s intolerance towards gluten, a protein commonly found in wheat and other cereal grains like barley and rye. Gluten can also be found in certain medicines and supplements. Gluten sensitivity or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity is a clinical syndrome characterised by both intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms that are responsive to the ingestion of gluten-containing food. It is more commonly found among adults, however children may be intolerant to gluten as well. This condition is often mistaken with coeliac disease, an autoimmune disease whereby the immune system mistakenly attacks the body when a person consumes gluten. This condition damages the small intestine.

How It Affects Your Body

An individual with gluten sensitivity shows symptoms that are typically not life-threatening as opposed to those having celiac disease. This includes stomach upsets and bloating. In contrast, hives, rash and breathing difficulty are often observed in individuals with celiac disease.
