A member asked:
Can someone have a sensitivity to wheat or gluten without having an actual allergy or diagnosis of celiac? if so, what would the symptoms be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Someone can be intolerant to any ingested material if it triggers reproducible symptoms like abdominal cramps, loose stools, etc. With wheat there are diagnostic problems. It is a composite of many separate proteins, each of which could create an allergy. Tests for gluten/celiac are only accurate if you consume them in the weeks before testing. Re-testing with proper preparation is often needed
