Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether small amounts of gluten worsen symptoms in people suspected of having nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), using a controlled trial.
Results showed that gluten intake significantly increased overall symptoms, including specific issues like bloating, pain, foggy mind, depression, and mouth ulcers, compared to placebo.
This suggests that even small gluten amounts can aggravate symptoms in individuals with NCGS, supporting the idea that gluten may play a role in their symptoms.
