See also Other Names : Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), Gluten intolerance, wheat sensitivity<br>Gluten intolerance is a subtle sensitivity to gluten diagnosed after exclusion of [[Celiac Disease]]. It's said to affect between 0.5-13 percent of people.
== Symptoms ==
Gluten sensitivity shares many symptoms with [[Celiac Disease]]. However, according to a collaborative report published by Sapone et al. (2012), individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity have a prevalence of extraintestinal or non-GI symptoms, such as headache, “foggy mind,” joint pain, and numbness in the legs, arms or fingers. Symptoms typically appear hours or days after gluten has been ingested, a response typical for innate immune conditions like non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

* [[Glucosamine]] is a natural lectin blocker! N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) : This is the most abundant sugar naturally found in your body. And it's also readily available in your digestive tract and your joints. That's one reason lectins are attracted to your gut and bones.This specific form of glucosamine has the uncanny ability to bind with disruptive wheat lectins called WGA. Research now shows wheat lectins create gluten sensitivities that can wreak havoc with your digestion and your life. Wheat lectins love to attach themselves to NAG. And now fortunately, there's good news: A study in the journal Pancreas shows NAG can suppress the effects of nasty WGA! By giving your body a decoy of this NAG sacrificial sugar, you protect your cellular sugars... fight off wheat sensitivities... and save your digestive health.
