I think the paper focuses only in gastrointestinal symptoms. NCGS actually causes more extra-digestive problems than the classic Celiac disease ones. Before I started my very strict gluten free diet I had migraines, fatigue, joint pain brain fog... I continued eating lots of fructans, especially garlic an onion, but I still improved dramatically. My thyroid, inflamation and cholesterol markers went back to normal. My rheumatologist Carlos Isasi has done extensive work about it and even published a study about a big % of fibromyalgia patients improving a lot by avoiding gluten. So, I don't believe it is all about fructans. I think it is related, though. My theory involves archaea overgrowth, pyrrolisine use for methane production (here comes the gas and IBS symptoms) and leaky gut as a result letting gluten into the bloodstream (which causes the toxic immune response)
