Celiac.com 05/15/2017 - For all the talk of studies touting evidence for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the actual data don't stack up very well, according to an recent assessment by two researchers, whose results appear in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
In an effort to determine the accuracy of using a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to confirm diagnosis of non-celiac gluten sensitivity in patients who respond to a gluten-free diet, researchers Javier Molina-Infante, and Antonio Carroccio recently set out to assess data on a series of such studies. Both researchers are affiliated with the Department of Gastroenterology, Hospital Universitario San Pedro de Alcantara in Caceres, Spain.
For their study, the pair analyzed data from 10 separate double-blind,...

Celiac.com 02/01/2021 - Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is poorly understood, particularly in terms of its neurological effects. A team of researchers looking into the matter first conducted a prospective postal survey to investigate its neurological presentation and symptom course. Based on the results of the survey, they conducted a brain MRI study to follow-up, and to note potential diagnostic biomarkers for future research.
The research team included Iain D. Croall, Nigel Hoggard, Imran Aziz, Marios Hadjivassiliou, and David S. Sanders. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Infection, Immunity & Cardiovascular Disease, University of Sheffield/INSIGENO, Sheffield, United Kingdom; the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield T...

Celiac.com 04/20/2021 - Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is marked by intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms triggered by gluten-containing foods, but with no celiac disease or wheat allergy. 
There are currently no known biomarkers to diagnose non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and the gold standard double-blind placebo-controlled gluten challenge is clinically impractical. 
A team of researchers recently set out to investigate the role of serum zonulin as a diagnostic biomarker of NCGS and to develop a diagnostic algorithm.
The research team included Maria Raffaella Barbaro, Cesare Cremon, Antonio Maria Morselli-Labate, Antonio Di Sabatino, Paolo Giuffrida, Gino Roberto Corazza, Michele Di Stefano, Giacomo Caio, Giovanni Latella, Carolina Ciacci, Daniele Fuschi, M...
