The following video explains a little about gluten intolerance, coeliac disease and related conditions and why they occur. It is useful for those who feel that they are experiencing problems with gluten; is a good introduction to those who may be newly diagnosed; those who believe they have a problem with gluten; those who may have gluten intolerance or coeliac disease and would like to see a little information about 'gluten.'

There are apparently several gene markers to determine both Coeliac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity. These gene markers are:

Gene: Associated with:

HLA-B8 Celiac disease

HLA-DQ1 Gluten sensitivity

HLA-DQ2 Celiac disease

HLA-DQ3 Gluten sensitivity

HLA-DQ5 Gluten sensitivity

HLA-DQ6 Gluten sensitivity

HLA-DQ7 Celiac disease

HLA-DQ8 Celiac disease

HLA-DR3 Celiac disease

More information on the above available on the following site:

People who have Coeliac Disease apparently produce both a large amount of zonulin and anti-zonulin antibodies compared to non-celiac patients and patients in remission, who are eating a gluten-free diet. Zonulin is a protein and is believed to act like a gatekeeper to our tissues.

Hello - The second link will not fully show so if you wish to see what is written in the Lancet then please type Zonulin in the search bar which shows when 'clicking' the link and then you will be able to click on the Summary to read the report.
