Symptoms and anti-gliadin antibody reactivity in response to the restrictive diet. (A and B) Composite scores for intestinal symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, epigastric pain and nausea) and extraintestinal symptoms (fatigue, headache, anxiety, memory and/or cognitive disturbances, and numbness in arms and/or legs) before and after 6 months of a diet free of wheat, rye and barley in a cohort of 20 patients with non-coeliac wheat sensitivity (NCWS). (C–E) Levels of IgG, IgA and IgM antibody to gliadin proteins before and 6 months after starting the diet in the NCWS cohort. Each individual is represented by a dot and the two points corresponding to the same individual are connected by a line. Each box indicates the 25th–75th percentiles of distribution, with the horizontal line inside the box representing the median.
