Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wheat intolerance syndrome, also known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), does not involve intestinal lining damage, unlike celiac disease which is a gluten-related autoimmune disease that damages the lining of the small intestine. Rice may be added to the diet to provide an alternative source of carbohydrates, but it is not a treatment for NCGS. NCGS is not a precursor to celiac disease and was not formerly called celiac disease.
