The Scope of Wheat-Related Disorders

Researchers have found that there is a spectrum of gluten-related disorders, which includes diseases and conditions that result from the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.  

This session will summarize our current knowledge about the three main forms of reactions to wheat and its byproducts including gluten and outline pathogenic, clinical and epidemiological differences.

Reaction types include:

  • Allergic (wheat allergy)
  • Autoimmune (celiac disease)
  • Intolerance (gluten sensitivity)
