    Gluten-free Diet Reverses Type 1 Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Rectal Mucosa of Patients With Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 07/18/2016 - Researchers still don't have a very good understanding about what triggers non-celiac wheat sensitivity. To get a better idea, a team of researchers recently set out to examine the inflammatory response in the rectal mucosa of patients with well-defined non-celiac wheat sensitivity. Specifically, they wanted to look at type 1 innate lymphoid cells in the rectal mucosa of those patients.

    The research team included Diana Di Liberto, Pasquale Mansueto, Alberto D'Alcamo, Marianna Lo Pizzo, Elena Lo Presti1, Girolamo Geraci, Francesca Fayer, Giuliana Guggino, Giuseppe Iacono, Francesco Dieli, and Antonio Carroccio. They are variously affiliated with the Central Laboratory of Advanced Diagnosis and Biomedical Research (CLADIBIOR), University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, the Dipartimento di Biopatologia e Biotecnologie Mediche (DIBIMED), University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, the Dipartimento Biomedico di Medicina Interna e Specialistica (DIBIMIS), University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, the Surgery Department at the University of Palermo in Palermo, Italy, and with the Pediatric Gastroenterology, ARNAS Di Cristina Hospital, Palermo, Italy 6Internal Medicine, Giovanni Paolo II Hospital, Sciacca (ASP Agrigento), Palermo, Italy.

    For their study, the team included 22 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like clinical presentation, diagnosed with non-celiac wheat sensitivity by double-blind placebo-controlled challenge. As control subjects, they used eight IBS patients who were not improving on wheat-free diet.

    Two weeks after each of the subjects consumed 80 grams of wheat daily as part of an oral challenge, the researchers isolated cells from rectal biopsies and thoroughly characterized them using fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis for intracellular cytokines and surface markers. Analysis of the rectal biopsies of wheat-challenged non-celiac wheat sensitivity patients showed that a significant mucosal CD45+ infiltrate consisted of CD3+ and CD3− lymphocytes, with the latter spontaneously producing more interferon (IFN)-γ than IBS controls.

    About 30% of IFN-γ-producing CD45+ cells were T-bet+, CD56−, NKP44−, and CD117−, defining them as a type-1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1). IFN-γ-producing ILC1 cells significantly decreased in 10 patients analyzed 2 weeks after they resumed a wheat-free diet.

    This study shows that IFN-γ-producing ILC1 cells infiltrate rectal mucosa, promoting the lymphoid cell population, which gives rise to non-celiac wheat sensitivity.

    Celiac.com 10/12/2015 - There's been a good deal of attention devoted to gluten sensitivity in people without celiac disease, but researchers still don't know much about potential risks associated with the condition.
    A research team recently looked at the prevalence of autoimmune diseases among patients with non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS), and investigated whether they carry antinuclear antibodies (ANA). The research team included A. Carroccio, A. D'Alcamo, F. Cavataio, M. Soresi, A. Seidita, C. Sciumè, G. Geraci, G. Iacono, and P. Mansueto.

    Is Autoimmunity More Common in Non-celiac Wheat Sensitivity Than in Celiac Disease?
    Celiac.com 06/13/2016 - Researchers Umberto Volta, Giacomo Caio, and Roberto De Giorgio, of the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy, recently submitted a letter to the medical journal Gastroenterology.
    In their letter, the researchers respond to a recent paper, published by Carroccio et al, reporting on the prevalence of autoimmunity (as identified by positivity of antinuclear antibodies [ANA] and associated autoimmune disorders) in non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) compared with celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). They note that the study results, based on retrospective and prospective data, showed that the prevalence of ANA in NCWS was significantly higher than in celiac disease and IBS (46% in NCWS vs 24% in celiac...

    Celiac.com 07/01/2016 - Between five to ten percent of Germans may suffer from wheat intolerance. These people suffer immune reactions when they eat wheat and other cereals such as spelt, rye, and barley. They suffer symptoms including diarrhea, fatigue, psychological disorders, and worsening of chronic inflammatory diseases. They may have celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac-non allergy wheat sensitivity (NCWS).
    Now doctors and biomedical and agricultural researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the University of Hohenheim have joined forces to study these disorders, especially NCWS.
    They are gearing their research towards the breeding of new types of wheat that lack these disease causing properties, while maintaining favorable characteristics, such as...
