A Brief Overview of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity

[Non-celiac gluten sensitivity].

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity has recently been recognized by the scientific community as a part of gluten-related disorders, and is defined as a condition with gastrointestinal and/or extra-intestinal symptoms triggered by gluten ingestion in the absence of celiac disease and wheat allergy. Currently, there is no specific serological marker and non-celiac gluten sensitivity remains a diagnosis...

Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity

Gluten-related disorders include celiac disease (CD), wheat allergy, and nonceliac gluten sensitivity. CD is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by damage to small intestinal mucosa when gluten is ingested in genetically susceptible individuals. Currently, the only available treatment of CD is gluten-free diet. Several potential treatments are being researched. Wheat allergy is a hypersensitivity ...

Immunogenetics of non celiac gluten sensitivity

The immunogenetics of coeliac disease (CD) has advanced from “Bench to Bed” in the sense that HLA-DQ typing is now an established part of the diagnostic armamentarium. The configuration characteristics and the specificity of the HLA-DQ2, (1) -DQ8 (2, 3) and –DQ9 (4, 5) allow the binding of small peptides that cannot be further digested by the absence of specific human intestinal enzymes (6, 7)....
