Gluten sensitivity: It’s not actually about gluten

Lead researcher, University of Melbourne Associate Professor Jessica Biesiekierski, says there's a popular belief that most people with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity are reacting to gluten when it's far more likely they have a sensitivity to FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols). She also highlights the importance of the gut-brain axis.
Associate Professor Jason Tye-Din, Director of the Snow Centre for Immune Health and a gastroenterologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, said: "This review supports a more personalised, evidence-based approach to gut health and avoids unnecessary dietary restriction."
IMHO, it would be a more helpful and accurate representation of the article if whoever wrote the headline stated that gut sensitivity is not always about gluten. Putting aside my concern about clickbaitism, the article itself is excellent, and very much in line with my own reading/research and personal experience with food intolerance that leads to gastrointestinal problems.
