Gluten sensitivity

Gluten-related disorders is the umbrella term for all diseases triggered by gluten. Gluten-related disorders include celiac disease (CD), non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), gluten ataxia, dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and wheat allergy. The term "gluten intolerance" should not be used, because it is non specific and carries inherent contradictions and weaknesses. Furthermore, it is not recommended to use the term "gluten sensitivity", and "non-coeliac gluten sensitivity" is to be used instead.

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or gluten sensitivity is a syndrome in which patients develop a variety of intestinal and/or extraintestinal symptoms that improve when gluten is removed from the diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy are excluded.
