Non-celiac gluten sensitivity

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a condition where individuals experience symptoms like stomach pain, fatigue, or headaches after consuming gluten, but do not have celiac disease or a wheat allergy. Unlike celiac disease, there’s no intestinal damage or antibody formation. The exact cause isn’t well understood, but gluten or other components in wheat may trigger the symptoms. NCGS is typically diagnosed by ruling out other conditions, and symptoms improve when gluten is removed from the diet. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment before making significant dietary changes.
