What does a poor Gluten Score mean?Updated 2 months ago

All scores are measuring the associated bacteria that have been presented within the literature to show an effect on each category. The low gluten score indicates you are deficient in the bacteria that have been associated with breaking down gluten within the research. The score is not a reflection of a gluten allergy or sensitivity.  If you do not have any symptoms when consuming gluten, then the lack of associated bacteria that help break down gluten may not be an issue for you.  However, if you do have symptoms resulting from gluten consumption and it is not due to an allergy,  it may be due to a lack of associated bacteria fully breaking it down.
