Self-Reported Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity and Other Food Sensitivities in Patients with Primary Sjogren's Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Wheat or cow's milk intake might influence the primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) clinical manifestations. A high prevalence (20-30%) of autoimmune diseases, including pSS, has been reported in non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS). This study aimed to identify the prevalence of self-reported NCWS and sensitivity/intolerance to other foods in patients with pSS, and to establish the specific clinical and immunological features of this subgroup of patients.

Methods

82 prospectively enrolled pSS patients were compared to 161 type 2 diabetes controls without rheumatological disease. The presence of a self-reported NCWS, and/or self-reported milk intolerance (SRMI), and/or multiple food sensitivity (MFS) was assessed by a validated questionnaire. Clinical and immunological
