Definition
The term gluten/wheat sensitivity is often used ambiguously: our definition provides clarity for practical use.
Identifying the various symptoms of gluten or wheat sensitivity is essential in order to provide appropriate medical care and personalized nutritional therapy.
Gluten sensitivity is a complex phenomenon involving multiple factors. Triggers such as gluten, amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATIs), and FODMAPs play a significant role.
The treatment of non-celiac gluten or wheat sensitivity is based on nutritional guidelines that prioritize an individualized, symptom-oriented approach.
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.
