Gluten intolerance
This condition also is known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It means that you don't have celiac disease, but you get some of the same symptoms after you eat gluten. Gluten intolerance does not cause the same type of damage to the small intestine as does celiac disease. A gluten intolerance might not even be caused by gluten itself. Carbohydrates called FODMAPs that are in some foods with gluten may play a role. But more research is needed. Still, a gluten-free diet seems to improve symptoms.
