Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease

Gluten intolerance is a broad term which includes all kinds of sensitivity to gluten. A small proportion (less than 0.5% of the population) of gluten intolerant people will test positive to a celiac disease test, and so are called celiacs.

Most gluten sensitive people return negative or inconclusive results upon celiac testing. The correct term for these people is Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitive (NCGS). As many as 1 in 7 poeple are Non Celiac Gluten Sensitive.

Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease

Gastro-intestinal problems (diarrhea, flatulence, bloating etc.)
Headaches
Mouth ulcers
Weight gain or weight loss

How Common is Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease?

Around 0.5% of the world is Celiac. This means less than 1 in 200 people.

However, new evidence shows Non-Celiac Gluten intolerence is 30 times more prevalent. Up to 15% of poeple are Gluten Sensitive and suffer the same symptoms. These are people who test negative or inconclusive for Celiac Disease. They are known as Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitive (NCGS)

Generally, food intolerance is quite common. There are only four kinds of Food Intolerance (not to be confused with Food Allergy) and they are widely suffered:

Food Intolerance	Prevalence
Dairy Intolerance (includes Lactose intolerance)	~75%	3 in 4 people
Yeast sensitivity (eg. Candida infections)	~33%	1 in 3 people
Gluten sensitivity (inc. Celiac and Wheat intolerance)	~15%	1 in 7 people
Fructose or Sugar sensitivity	~35%	1 in 3 people
Food allergy	~1%	1 in 100 people

I can't thank you enough for ending the mystery of my health problems, but also for contributing to helping my daughter (who also suffers from food intolerance) avoid a difficult life. I'm so happy that my daughter is going to be able to avoid so simply her health problems. I can tell she feels good now.

I just want to respond to your recent article on wheat intolerance and depression.

How great is it that you are publishing this info because so many are affected and it is not until you seriously look at your diet and realise just how food really affects your emotions.

Thanks for the great info and keep up the good work!
