Non-celiac gluten sensitivity in pediatrics

Main Article Content

Giorgio Pitzalis

Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders related to the ingestion of gluten or wheat are becoming increasingly diagnosed. At least three distinct disorders related to gluten exposure are recognized: celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). The diagnostic criteria for celiac disease and wheat allergy are very rigorous and several specific disease markers exist, while NCGS lacks a specific biological diagnostic marker.
