What
is Gluten Intolerance?
People can also
experience an 'intolerance' to gluten.
Food intolerances are not thought to be immune
mediated. GI symptoms with wheat or gluten
intolerance may include gassiness, abdominal
pain, abdominal distension, and diarrhea.
These symptoms are usually transient, and are
thought NOT cause permanent damage.
Patients with lactose intolerance, where the
lactose sugar in diary products is not digested
well, may also experience gassiness, abdominal
pain, abdominal distension, and diarrhea.
Like gluten or wheat
intolerance, these symptoms will pass once the
lactose is out of the person's system, and will
not cause permanent damage.
