Gluten Free

Gluten Free refers to food or a diet which has a greatly reduced amount of Gluten in it. It may indeed be totally gluten free but it practice this is usually very hard to achieve as gluten is found in so many off the shelf foods and ingredients - often not directly referred to in the labeling.

The exact level at which gluten is harmless is uncertain and controversial. A recent systematic review tentatively concluded that consumption of less than 10 mg of gluten per day is unlikely to cause histological abnormalities, although it noted that few reliable studies had been done.

Also exactly what the label gluten-free actually means on food varies markedly by country.

Gluten Intolerance

Gluten Intolerance (or Gluten Sensitivity) is a spectrum of disorders, including coeliac disease and wheat allergy, in which gluten has an adverse effect on the body. It can be defined as a non-allergic and non-autoimmune condition in which the consumption of gluten can lead to symptoms similar to those observed in Coeliac Disease or wheat allergy (other conditions which fall under the gluten-related disorders spectrum).

Research as to the exact mechanism in play is still ongoing and how it fits in with other food disorders.
