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.
Research indicates that about 10% of people worldwide experience non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGWS), a condition linked to various health issues and often overlapping with other disorders like IBS and anxiety. The condition is complex, with no standard diagnostic criteria, and may be influenced by psychological and social factors, raising the need for better diagnosis and management strategies.
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 study from Aarhus University found that stronger coupling between the stomach's electrical rhythm and brain activity is associated with poorer mental health, including higher anxiety and depression, suggesting a measurable link between gut-brain interactions and emotional well-being.
