Is gluten really all that bad? Learn why gluten may be causing your health problems and why it's often undiagnosed or incorrectly diagnosed.
Dr. Gangemi discusses gluten allergy marketing, diagnosis, and gluten allergy testing. He touches on wheat production processes called deamidation and hybridization, and how these affect many of the final wheat products commonly consumed. These modified products can affect digestion and contribute towards a gluten allergy response and celiac disease.
Doctors often test for gluten allergies with a transglutaminase 2 test, but this may fall short of a correct diagnosis related to gluten allergy. While there are many other tests for gluten sensitivity, you may be able to determine whether you need to adopt a gluten-free diet on your own.
