We’re not talking about coeliac disease here, which is an autoimmune condition where the immune system overreacts to gluten.Some people experience gut and other symptoms after eating gluten-based or wheat-based foods without a coeliac diagnosis.However a new review suggests some people with this sensitivity could be reacting to something else in the diet, not gluten.Gut symptom study — a world-first international clinical trial comparing two proven treatments for IBS: the low-FODMAP diet and an exposure-based therapy that retrains the gut-brain connection. The study is fully online and open to adults located anywhere in Australia (or the United States) who are currently experiencing gut symptoms (similar to IBS).
