Gluteeni ja IBS (ärtyvän suolen oireyhtymä)

Can Gluten Contribute to Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Evidence is accumulating suggesting that hypersensitivities, or abnormal gut functional responses to specific food components, and in particular gluten, could be involved in symptom generation in gut functional disorders. Gluten sensitivity may be involved in the pathogenesis of a subgroup of IBS patients, but there are gaps in our understanding of the mechanistic pathways through which gluten can contribute to functional bowel disorders. Gluten sensitivity does not, by any means, explain all intolerance to food in IBS patients. However, it provides a basis for constructing a model linking a specific food component with dysfunction in the gut, and for devising new management strategies for gut functional disorders. Identification of serological biomarkers indicating “gluten sensitivity” and whether they predict responsiveness to gluten restriction in IBS patients would significantly enhance the clinical management of this common GI disorder.
