Abstract

Gluten can induce several conditions. However, a lot of people and even medical practitioners only associate gluten pathology with its most severe form neglecting other pathologies. In addition to this, clinical manifestations of celiac disease are not always classic and for this reason, many cases are diagnosed late, being characterized by intricate symptoms that can be attributed to other conditions. In the present study, we try to bring a systematization of the five major gluten-induced manifestations: celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, gluten ataxia, and dermatitis herpetiformis.
