People who go gluten-free typically do not have any form of celiac -- the fad largely started with claims of non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and even the researchers who originally identified that have now retracted their claims and stated they can find no evidence that such sensitivity exists.
- pyre 12y agoSaid researchers have claimed[1] that reducing FODMAPs[2] (which many gluten-free diets coincidentally reduce) could be the culprit for the problems that people are experiencing (and attributing to non-celiac gluten sensitivity). It is worth noting that the follow-up study (which caused them to retract) had a sample-size of ~30 people (though it was especially comprehensive). [1] Less 'claimed' than postulated. Their follow-up study showed that the symptoms were mostly showing up in relation the presence of FODMAPs in the diet. [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP
