A new study published in The Lancet challenges the common belief that gluten itself causes sensitivity, revealing that most symptoms are due to gut-brain interactions, FODMAPs, or psychological factors, leading to potential changes in diagnosis, treatment, and public health messaging.
A comprehensive review suggests that most people who believe they are gluten sensitive are actually reacting to other factors like FODMAPs or psychological influences, with true gluten sensitivity being rare. The study emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and personalized treatment, highlighting that unnecessary gluten avoidance can be costly and nutritionally detrimental.
A comprehensive review suggests that most people who believe they are gluten sensitive are actually reacting to other dietary components like FODMAPs or psychological factors, rather than gluten itself. True gluten sensitivity appears to be rare, and symptoms are often influenced by expectations and anxiety. The study recommends targeted testing and dietary adjustments, emphasizing the importance of personalized, evidence-based approaches over unnecessary gluten avoidance.
A study published in The Lancet suggests that gluten sensitivity is more related to gut-brain interactions and other wheat components like FODMAPs, rather than gluten itself, challenging previous assumptions and highlighting the need for more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
A comprehensive review in The Lancet challenges the common belief that gluten is the primary cause of symptoms in people without coeliac disease, suggesting that many such cases are due to other dietary factors like FODMAPs or psychological factors, and recommends targeted testing and dietary management instead of unnecessary gluten avoidance.
Passing gas is a normal bodily function, but the reasons behind it can vary. Gas can be caused by swallowing air or the fermentation of food in the colon. While gas is not a reliable indicator of gut health, dietary choices can affect its frequency and odor. Foods high in FODMAPs, such as beans, cauliflower, and wheat, can lead to excessive gas for some individuals. Other factors that can contribute to gas include red meat consumption, excess carbs, constipation, and poor digestion. If excessive gas causes discomfort or interferes with daily life, it is advisable to consult a doctor. Keeping a "gas diary" and making dietary changes, such as following a low FODMAP diet, can help manage excessive gas.
