Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) describes a syndrome of symptomatic response to gluten ingestion in patients with no serologic or histologic evidence of celiac disease. The most common complaints are abdominal pain, bloating, and/or change in bowel patterns, but some patients complain of extraintestinal symptoms. The onset is typically within hours or a few days of ingesting gluten. This time course distinguishes NCGS from the rapid onset of symptoms in wheat allergy (minutes to hours), but can overlap with the delayed onset of symptoms in celiac disease (days to weeks) (J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2016 Jul;63(1):156-65).
