Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity: What Is the Culprit?

In 1978, the term nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) was coined in a case report describing the resolution of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms in a patient (in which celiac disease had been excluded) with the adoption of a gluten-free diet.1 Currently, NCGS has been defined as a clinical entity induced by the ingestion of gluten leading to intestinal and/or extraintestinal symptoms that resolve once the gluten-containing foodstuff is eliminated from the diet and when celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out.
