This is the second video in a 3-part series on the latest science on gluten and gluten-free diets. Though the medical profession now recognizes wheat sensitivity as a discrete entity, it’s still not clear if it’s actually the gluten to which people are reacting. See the first part for a review of the controversy: Is Gluten Sensitivity Real? (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/is-gluten-sensitivity-real)

In the final installment, How to Diagnose Gluten Intolerance (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-diagnose-gluten-intolerance), I’ll go step by step how someone may want to proceed who suspects they might be sensitive to gluten-containing grains.
