Gluten Sensitivity Spectrum

Gluten sensitivity exists on a spectrum, where some individuals experience symptoms like digestive discomfort, fatigue, or headaches after consuming gluten, but lack the autoimmune response seen in celiac disease. At one end, some may have non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), which causes symptoms without causing intestinal damage. At the other end, celiac disease involves an autoimmune response damaging the intestines. Gluten sensitivity varies in severity and mechanisms, and while it’s not fully understood, managing it often involves a gluten-free diet to relieve symptoms. It’s important to consult healthcare professionals for proper diagnosis and guidance.
