GLUTEN- AND GRAIN-RELATED DISORDERS (GRDs)
Differential diagnosis of gluten-related disorders (GRDs) can be complex, yet it is essential for guiding effective medical nutrition therapy.
Celiac disease (CD)
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten intake in genetically predisposed individuals. Its wide range of symptoms, which can appear at any age, often leads to delayed or missed diagnosis. These symptoms may include dermatitis herpetiformis, the skin manifestation of the disease.
With expert medical nutrition therapy, individuals with celiac disease, wheat allergy, gluten/wheat sensitivity, or irritable bowel syndrome can often return to a symptom-free life.
Gluten-free diet
A strict gluten-free diet is essential for individuals who cannot tolerate gluten. The degree of restriction depends on the specific condition.
Access the latest scientific research on celiac disease, wheat allergy, gluten/wheat sensitivity, and irritable bowel syndrome. Stay informed with evidence-based insights to support clinical practice.
Explore real-world case studies that highlight the complexities and overlapping symptoms of gluten-related disorders (GRDs)-and the challenges they present in diagnosis and treatment.
