Pronunciation
Gluten-related disorders: /ˈɡluːtən rɪˈleɪtɪd dɪsˈɔːrdərz/
Etymology
The term "gluten-related disorders" is a compound of "gluten", from the Latin gluten meaning "glue", and "related disorders", referring to conditions associated with the ingestion of gluten.
Celiac disease
Celiac disease (pronounced: /ˈsiːliæk diːˈziːz/) is an autoimmune disorder that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine.
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (pronounced: /nɒn ˈsiːliæk ˈɡluːtən sɛnsɪˈtɪvɪti/) is a syndrome characterized by intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms related to the ingestion of gluten-containing food, in subjects that are not affected by either celiac disease or wheat allergy.
Wheat allergy
Wheat allergy (pronounced: /wiːt ˈælərdʒi/) is an allergic reaction to foods containing wheat, one of the top eight food allergens in the United States.
Dermatitis herpetiformis
Dermatitis herpetiformis (pronounced: /dɜːrməˈtaɪtɪs hɜːrpɪˈtɔːrmaɪtɪs/) is a chronic blistering skin condition, characterised by blisters filled with a watery fluid that is intensely itchy. It is directly linked to the ingestion of gluten in people who are genetically susceptible.
