The role of wheat gluten in the genesis of gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue in patients with non-coeliac gluten intolerance.

目前医学界对“麸质和小麦不耐症”认识不足，然而许多没有乳糜泻的澳大利亚人声称自己对小麦或麸质不耐症。最常见的抱怨与慢性疲劳和肠道症状有关，如放屁和腹胀。我们的研究小组有新的和最近的证据表明小麦麸质确实会引发一些患有肠易激综合征的患者的症状。这个项目旨在提高我们对这一领域的认识。

Currently �gluten- and wheat-intolerances� are poorly recognised by the medical profession and yet many Australians who do not have coeliac disease claim to be wheat- or gluten-intolerant. The most common complaints relate to chronic fatigue and gut symptoms such as wind and bloating. Our research team have new and recent evidence that wheat-gluten does trigger symptoms in some patients who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This project aims to improve our understanding in this area.
