is ibs related to gluten intolorance?

IBS is what is termed a "trash-can diagnosis." What that means is that, currently, the doctors tell you that you have IBS when they don't really know what is the real problem. It's more like a description of your symptoms. Many people that "have IBS" actually have Celiac Disease, though not everyone does. If you have IBS, you may want to be tested for CD to see if that is the true problem.

Very informative, thanks.

I just wanted to add that the intolerances are more commonly due to a missing enzyme.

This wasn't meant to be an all-inclusive talk on Celiac Disease. It was designed to show that there are differences between Celiac Disease and the other forms of gluten intolerance.
