The researchers broke the findings down as follows: - Celiac
Disease patients experience an autoimmune response to gluten
where the body mistakenly attacks itself. When eating gluten,
patients in this group will develop antibodies that can be
measured by a blood test and/or damage to the villi of the small
intestine, which can be confirmed by a biopsy. There are more
than 300 symptoms linked to celiac disease that can affect any
system of the body. - Wheat Allergy patients will experience a

gluten. Skin prick tests are considered the first line of
testing for a wheat allergy. In these patients, a reaction will
occur minutes to hours after ingestion of gluten. - Gluten
Sensitivity patients are sort of in a league of their own. This
group of patients experiences symptoms similar to those of
celiac disease patients when they eat gluten, yet there is no
measureable reaction. This group of patients does
