Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is characterized by symptom improvement after gluten withdrawal in absence of celiac disease.

Foods with gluten often contain fructans, a type of fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols. We aimed to investigate the effect of gluten and fructans separately in individuals with self-reported gluten sensitivity.
