It's also impossible to know that you don't have celiac disease unless you've had an immunoassay that comes up negative. Not all celiac cases show severe GI symptoms. As such assuming that someone does not have celiac disease who has not been tested has a 1-2% false negative rate. Secondly, gluten can aggravate FODMAPs sensitivity: http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/fulltext http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/f... This study is often cited to "prove" that non-celiac gluten sensitivity does not exist, but what it actually shows is that most "NCGS" cases are caused by FODMAPs and that gluten can aggravate the symptoms in a person who has not cut out FODMAPs: >In all participants, gastrointestinal symptoms consistently and significantly improved during reduced FODMAP intake, but significantly worsened to a similar degree when their diets included gluten or whey protein. Gluten increases GI residence time in everybody, which is not an unhealthy effect on its own, but which can increase the duration of exposure to any dietary irritant: http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/0016-5085(83)90374-8/pdf http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/0016-5085(83)90374-8/pd... >Hydrolyzed gluten prolonged intestinal transit time, and this effect was reversed by concomitant administration of naloxone It's seriously that easy to just look up "gluten sensitivity" on Google Scholar or SciFinder or (insert academic search site here) to find these sort of studies. And frankly it's kind of annoying to see people who won't even go to that level of effort degrading the actual personal experiences of someone who is simply trying to improve their own life.
