> Maybe they really feel better on gluten-free diet ? If a person feels better on a gluten-free diet, it does not necessarily mean they have a gluten sensitivity. For example, see this study of people who self-reported as having gluten sensitivity. The participants unanimously reported feeling better on the low-FODMAP run-in diet, but during the trials were found to have no specific reactions to gluten. This suggests that gluten was not actually responsible for their symptoms. One possible explanation is that a gluten-free diet may lead a person to also avoid (unintentionally) the actual cause of the symptoms (e.g. other FODMAPs that happen to be found alongside gluten in foods). http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/fulltext http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/f...
