People who believe they are sensitive to gluten have often not been adequately tested to rule out celiac disease. [s]Reuters Health[/s] quotes Jessica Biesiekierski, who led a study at [b]Monash University[/b] and [b]Alfred Hospital[/b] in Melbourne as saying that people with trouble digesting gluten who are not tested for celiac disease may not get proper treatment, which could lead to health problems down the line. ‘There is a great deal of hype and misinformation surrounding gluten and wheat allergies and sensitivities. The group of so-called “non-celiac gluten sensitivity” remains undefined and largely ambiguous because of the minimal scientific evidence,’ Biesiekierski said.
