Response to: fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome caused by non-celiac gluten sensitivity

Dear Editor:

We have closely read the article published by Isasi et al.1 in Reumatologia Clínica presenting a case of fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) caused by non-celiac sensitivity to gluten (NGCD). We would like to comment our experience with this attractive topic regarding patients with FM/CFS, which I hope will contribute to an improved knowledge of this association. The authors have reasonably ruled out celiac disease (CD) and have hypothesized that NGCD is the cause of FM and CFS in their patient; upon complete remission (CR) of symptoms, both digestive and musculoskeletal, with a gluten-free diet (GFD).
