Celiac VS NCGS

[Johariellis]

Hi guys! What would you say is the MAIN difference between Celiac and non celiac gluten sensitivity symptom wise? Is it the yellow and stinky poos after eating gluten? I’m getting tested on Monday and I don’t know why it makes me so nervous/anxious 🤣 I guess I just don’t wanna feel stupid.

Welcome to the forum, Johariellis!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to distinguish the two based on symptoms since celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same symptoms. That is a big part of why we encourage the testing for celiac disease. In view of the fact that you will be tested in a few days I trust you did not make the mistake of already starting a gluten free diet.

Nope! Still on the gluten for now  Definitely not enjoying it 🤣

These articles are older, but still may be helpful. NCGS is still being mapped out in studies:
