This global trend is related to the controversial diagnosis of “non-intestinal gluten sensitivity” (NCCS), in which case patients will experience digestive problems due to gluten consumption. As you might expect, the link between gluten and digestive system problems remains controversial. Understanding how gluten affects “Gluten: A Benefit or Harm to the Body” the gut is a critical part of assessing whether this diet is just a fad or based on solid science.
NCCS has many symptoms, from eczema to joint pain to depression. However, one of the most common symptoms is similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a recent report published by Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, a group of Australian researchers focused on the relationship between gluten and IBS.
The Experience
The team performed an experiment with about 40 participants who self-reported IBS-like symptoms as a result of NCCS. Until initiating a regulated diet, they had their blood taken and then switched to zero gluten, a low FODMAP (another form of nutrient that was involved in IBS) diet.
FODMAP is an acronym for “Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols”. They are short chain carbohydrates present in a wide variety of foods, from fruit to grains and legumes. This category of nutrients is considered to be poorly digested, but once again their function in IBS is being questioned. The diets of the subjects have been routinely changed. For a week at a time researchers ate either low gluten, gluten free, or high gluten diet.
The participants were unsure of the food they had at any given time. Each participant tried each diet in a randomised sequence, and in between diets they returned to a gluten-free, low FODMAP diet. At the end of any of them Any new diet patients had their blood screened for signs of stomach disorders
