Is Gluten Sensitivity Real?
"People complaining about gluten-related symptoms were tested for different gluten diseases by adhering to a gluten-free diet for six months and then reintroducing gluten for one month (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26043918). Out of 392 people, 337 (86%) were found not to have celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or a wheat allergy, begging the question “is gluten sensitivity real?”
Although official data are lacking, the lay press have suggested that 17 million Americans are gluten sensitive. However, it must be remembered that this is also big business.
Gluten-free seems to have overtaken fat-free and low-carbohydrate as food fads in the grocery business. The estimated U.S. market for gluten-free foods is greater than $2.5 billion and is expected to top $5 billion by 2015."

Gluten Intolerance May Be Completely Fake: Study
If you're not celiac, you're probably not gluten intolerant.
That's according to an academic study that effectively overturned the results of a previous one in 2011, which had served as evidence that non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a real condition, Real Clear Science reports.

Gluten Fears & Facts: Is Wheat Truly Terrible?
"Too many people are blaming wheat for all their joint aches, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort on the advice of books that then, amazingly, recommend eating unlimited amounts of oils, cheeses, and other animal foods. In other words, it lets them put the blame for how they feel on wheat and continue to feel good about all of their other bad habits."

Gluten-Free Diets: Separating the Wheat from the Chat
"How common is gluten sensitivity? Are there benefits of gluten? Why does the medical profession explicitly advise against people who suspect they might be gluten intolerant from just going on a gluten-free diet?"

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
"Consider this: no underlying cause for gluten intolerance has yet been discovered. Moreover, there are a host of triggers for gastrointestinal distress, many of which were not controlled for in previous studies. Generally, non-celiac gluten sensitivity is assumed to be the culprit when celiac disease is ruled out. But that is a "trap..""

How to Diagnose Gluten Intolerance
"After a formal evaluation to rule out celiac disease, those who suspect they might have gluten sensitivity should first try improving their diet and then have other causes excluded before going on a gluten-free diet, since as many as 1 in 3 people who avoid gluten for symptom control end up having a different disease altogether."

No Effects Of Gluten In Patients With Self-Reported Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity After Dietary Reduction Of Fermentable, Poorly Absorbed, Short-Chain Carbohydrates
In a placebo-controlled, cross-over rechallenge study, we found no evidence of specific or dose-dependent effects of gluten in patients with NCGS placed diets low in FODMAPs.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity among Patients Perceiving Gluten-Related Symptoms
"Eighty six percent of patients reporting gluten-related symptoms have neither Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, nor Celiac disease, nor wheat allergy. Self-perceived gluten-related symptoms are rarely indicative of the presence of Non-celiac gluten sensitivity."

Long Term Gluten Consumption In Adults Without Celiac Disease And Risk Of Coronary Heart Disease: Prospective Cohort Study
"Long term dietary intake of gluten was not associated with risk of coronary heart disease. However, the avoidance of gluten may result in reduced consumption of beneficial whole grains, which may affect cardiovascular risk. The promotion of gluten-free diets among people without celiac disease should not be encouraged."

Too Little Gluten In Our Diet May Increase The Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes
"People with celiac disease or who are gluten intolerant may benefit from a low-gluten diet. A considerable number of people who do not have these diseases still adopt a gluten-free diet in the hope that it benefits their health. New research, however, suggests that a low-gluten diet may even have some adverse health effects, by raising the risk of diabetes."
