A member asked:

What do you suggest if i'm pretty sure she has gluten intolerance because every time she eatsvery rude. does my daughter have gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Word games: Sensitivity and intolerance are two sides of the same coin.Intolerance carries a more worrisome connotation but they are really just variations of intensity. If the body is producing abnormal levels of IgA to gluten proteins (there are several) the body has a problem with it. It may not be enough to cause diagnostic changes on intestinal biopsy but be enough to avoid benefit from avoiding gluten.
