Join Erica and Jules as they discuss non-celiac gluten sensitivity and share a throwback episode of The Gluten-Free Voice starring Jules.
Gluten sensitivity (also called non-celiac gluten sensitivity or non-celiac wheat sensitivity) is a real medical condition which affects approximately 6% of the population to some degree. A recent study suggests that it affects similar numbers to those with celiac disease -- approximately 3 million in the US alone. Other experts speculate the numbers are actually much higher.
