Testing blood markers for wheat-related gut symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks for blood “biomarkers” (measurable lab signals) in people who have gut symptoms triggered by gluten wheat, but who do not have celiac disease or wheat allergy. If you fit, it may help researchers understand why these symptoms happen and improve future testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old, and you can be any gender
- Your symptoms feel like irritable bowel syndrome and they improve on a gluten-free diet
- When you eat foods with wheat/gluten again, your symptoms get worse
- Your tests show you do NOT have celiac disease (negative anti-tTG and EMA, and biopsy grade Marsh 0–1)
- Your tests show you do NOT have wheat allergy (blood test IgE to wheat is negative)
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how different types (genotypes) of wheat affect gut symptoms in people who react to wheat but do not have celiac disease. It may help clarify which wheat triggers symptoms and how to confirm the trigger in a structured food challenge.
This study investigates whether relatives of celiac disease patients who have digestive symptoms and other health concerns might have non-celiac wheat sensitivity or irritable bowel syndrome. Researchers will perform a small intestinal biopsy and dietary testing to understand the connection between wheat sensitivity and symptoms in this family group.
This study looks at whether a gluten-free diet can improve symptoms in people who fit certain back-pain patterns and certain wheat/gluten-related gut conditions. It also uses food testing (including wheat challenges) to sort out which people truly respond to wheat.
This study tests how well people with non-celiac wheat sensitivity tolerate a special ancient grain. Researchers want to see if this grain causes fewer or less bothersome symptoms than modern wheat.
This study looks at whether people with non-celiac wheat sensitivity or other digestive conditions have more fat in their liver or liver scarring. It aims to understand if wheat-related issues are linked to liver health.
This trial studies whether a dietary approach can help people with mild-to-moderate psoriasis. It may be especially focused on people who do not have signs of wheat/gluten-related immune reactions.
