What Is The Difference Between Celiac And Wheat Intolerant?

If someone suspects they are wheat intolerant, they should initially be tested for celiac disease.

By removing wheat form the diet you could mask celiac disease without treating it. Wheat intolerance is quite rare, is more likely to affect young children and may be a temporary problem, unlike celiac disease which is permanent.

Associated symptoms of wheat intolerance may include eczema and other skin irritations but it does not affect the immune system.

Celiac disease, on the other hand, is known as an autoimmune disease because the presence of gluten in a celiac's diet causes an immune reaction.
