Le terme «intolérance au gluten» a été utilisé comme synonyme de «maladie cœliaque» et pour indiquer qu'un patient subit une amélioration clinique après avoir commencé un régime sans gluten, même lorsqu'il n'a pas de maladie cœliaque. Cependant, le terme «intolérance au gluten» est non spécifique et comporte des faiblesses et des contradictions inhérentes. En raison de ces contradictions, il faut plutôt employer le terme «troubles liés au gluten». 3, record 1, French, - troubles%20li%C3%A9s%20au%20gluten
