“…Data from the USA do suggest that awareness of GRD is common in New York City [29]. However, this may have partly been augmented by the New York Health Department recently authorizing allergen awareness posters to be placed in restaurants throughout the city [29]. It remains to be elucidated whether such results can be replicated in other American states, many of whom do not have such promotional campaigns.…”

“…The overall prevalence of the condition is, however, difficult to estimate owing to heightened public awareness and self-restriction of gluten in diet 67. In the United State, the prevalence of self-prescribed GFD in an unselected population of subjects aged 6 years or older was reported as 0.5% 8.…”

Background/AimsThe existence of non-celiac gluten sensitivity has been debated. Indeed, the intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms of many patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) but without celiac disease or wheat allergy have been shown to improve on a gluten-free diet. Therefore, this study set out to evaluate the effects of gluten on IBS symptoms.MethodsWe performed a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled rechallenge trial in a tertiary care hospital with IBS patients who fulfilled the Rome III criteria. Patients with celiac disease and wheat allergy were appropriately excluded. The participants were administered a gluten-free diet for 4 weeks and were asked to complete a symptom-based questionnaire to assess their overall symptoms, abdominal pain, bloating, wind, and tiredness on the visual analog scale (0-100) at the baseline and every week thereafter. The participants who showed improvement were randomly assigned to one of two groups to receive either a placebo (gluten-free breads) or gluten (whole cereal breads) as a rechallenge for the next 4 weeks.ResultsIn line with the protocol analysis, 60 patients completed the study. The overall symptom score on the visual analog scale was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the patients in the gluten intervention group scored significantly higher in terms of abdominal pain, bloating, and tiredness (P<0.05), and their symptoms worsened within 1 week of the rechallenge.ConclusionsA gluten diet may worsen the symptoms of IBS patients. Therefore, some form of gluten sensitivity other than celiac disease exists in some of them, and patients with IBS may benefit from gluten restrictions.

“…The association of celiac disease and neurological disorders has been extended to gluten sensitivity (GS), a disorder considered to be present when patients report improvement in symptoms upon withdrawal of dietary gluten, even though they do not meet diagnostic criteria for celiac disease. While the public awareness of this condition is high, 6 GS has been termed a “no man's land” for physicians 7 …”
