• 00:00:00 Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, and it is one of the main proteins found in these specific types of grain. Gluten is also made up of two different compounds, gliadin and gluten. There are tests that practitioners run to determine whether or not someone is reacting to gluten. Celiac disease is a more severe reaction to gluten, and it will have more severe symptoms associated with gluten exposures. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance is not the same thing as celiac disease, and it will not have the same severity. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity may still have to be careful about removing gluten from their diet.
