Description

For decades, the mainstream medical view of gluten intolerance has been relatively black or white. But celiac disease is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to gluten intolerance—there are many other ways that sensitivity to wheat and/or gluten can manifest in the body. In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, we’ll examine the science behind non-celiac wheat sensitivity, including how a person can be gluten intolerant without having celiac disease, the signs and symptoms of gluten intolerance, and why current testing for celiac disease is falling short.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity
• What the science really says about wheat and gluten intolerance 
• Diagnostic criteria that have been established over recent years for non-celiac wheat sensitivity
• Why conventional testing is limited in its scope, leaving sensitivity to gluten and wheat underdiagnosed
• How to test whether you’re sensitive to wheat, gluten, or both
