Celiac disease was first described in 1888 and identified as early as the 1000 CE. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where gluten causes an immune inflammation in the small intestine, leading to discomfort. Awareness of Celiac disease and concerns over gluten intolerance have contributed to creating a $2.6 billion market for gluten-free products. NCGS is controversial but may be even more common than Celiac disease. NCGS is generally described as an intolerance towards gluten filled foods in people that don’t have Celiac disease or a wheat allergy.
