Gluten sensitivity
A study involving non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) was carried out with the aim of determining whether gluten causes systemic symptoms, reproducible gastrointestinal, and dose-dependent complications. The main methods used in this study included placebo-controlled, specific, and reproducible induction of symptoms with gluten, cross-over trials, randomized, and double-blind. People who suffer from (NCGS) indicate improved gastrointestinal conditions when they are put on a gluten-free diet (GFD) The observation was made after a group of 36 patients were put on dets with regulated amounts of gluten for some weeks and later -subjected to tests after two weeks of washout. The patients were divided into different groups that involved different diets that contained either low gluten, high-gluten, or controlled diets. The participants were given diets that have a low content of short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed and food chemicals, and dairy product intake was regulated to eliminate the possibility of other factors causing gut symptoms.
All of the participant feces samples were collected carefully to avoid contamination with the urine on the three days to test the severity of fatigue by the D-FIS and gastrointestinal symptoms. There was a notable reduction of fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms when the patients were given diets with low FODMAPS. However, there was no evidence of symptoms of gluten induction in all the major tests that were used in this study. Consumption of gluten is linked to direct effects on the brain by causing neurological disorders and depression. In this study, gluten consumption did not affect the fatigue levels of the participants. From the observed data, it can be concluded that gluten is not a trigger of gut symptoms when the diet in consumption is low in FODMAPS.
