Is a IgG wheat reaction the same as gluten intolerance or Celiac disease?
The two situations are closely related. Gluten is the major antigenic protein in wheat. In the IgG test, extracts used are the protein-containing fractions to eliciting the antibody response. If a patient has a high wheat IgG antibody reaction, it is often due to too much wheat in the diet. Similarly, if a person has gluten sensitivity, he or she will have an elevated reaction to wheat. If there are many reactions to other foods, intestinal permeability is most likely the underlying problem.
