Non-celiac gluten sensitivity

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is when someone's stomach gets upset or they don't feel good after eating foods that have gluten in them, but they don't have an autoimmune condition called celiac disease. Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley. When people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity eat foods with gluten, their stomach may feel bad, they might have gas, diarrhea, or feel tired. It's important to talk to a doctor if you think you have a problem with gluten. They can help you figure out if it's really gluten that's causing the problem or if it's something else.
