@Interstellarity: From the website that is cited in the sentence: "Gluten is a protein found naturally in wheat, barley, and rye, and is common in foods such as bread, pasta, cookies, and cakes". The current sentence that you reverted back to is: "While the disease is caused by a permanent intolerance to wheat proteins, it is not a form of wheat allergy.[10]" The disease is not caused by a permanent intolerance to wheat proteins. I believe this is a typo, and it should say gluten proteins. Nowhere in source ten does it support the sentence that celiac disease is caused by intolerance to wheat proteins. Additionally, earlier in the wikipedia article it states: "Coeliac disease is caused by a reaction to gluten, a group of various proteins found in wheat and in other grains such as barley and rye.[9][17][18]" .

I am requesting help with this because I am not sure how to help you. Interstellarity T 🌟 17:35, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi there, I've had a look at this one and your edits that were undone by Interstellarity. I've also looked at the cited source, and I agree with your assessment - the source does not state Coeliac disease is an intolerance to wheat proteins, but gluten, which itself is a group of proteins. I also don't see anything in the source that states anything about Coeliac disease not being an allergy - even if this is the case, it's not what the source says and we are synthesising by stating this. Since I agree with your assessment of the source, I've re-instated it with one caveat - the spelling of recognised I have kept as British English, based on our conventions on Wikipedia to keep an article with the style of spelling it started with. Other than that, changes look good. Thanks! Steven Crossin 17:48, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
