The world of gluten-related disorders continues to be an area of new discoveries and hotly debated issues. For example, there are many controversies surrounding Celiac Disease such as the approach to its diagnosis, handling of "potential" cases, new possibilities of prevention, advances in defining alternative therapies to the gluten-free diet, and non-responsive vs refractory celiac disease. Additionally, Non-Celiac Gluten sensitivity is also a contentious topic regarding its definition, prevalence, diagnostic criteria and treatment. Further topics of debate include the potential role of wheat in irritable bowel syndrome and the prevalence and validity of Wheat Allergy.
This Research Topic aims to collect papers addressing all of the above hot issues in gluten-related disorders, with the ambitious aim of providing an unbiased update and a look into future research and discoveries.
This Research Topic invites contributors to provide meta-analyses, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, original clinical research as well as exemplifying case reports concerning gluten-related disorders in both, children and adults.
Here, we are especially interested in themes including but not limited to:
1) Controversies in handling potential celiac disease, state of the art in alternative therapies to the gluten-free diet, better definition of non-responsive vs refractory celiac disease.
2) Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: an umbrella term? Trying to define prevalence, diagnostic criteria and treatment
3) The grey area of overlap in gluten and IBS
4) Wheat Allergy and the wide array of diagnostic tools used by the general public and their validation
