In a prospective survey jejunal biopsy samples from 11 patients with multiple sclerosis on normal diets were compared with those from controls matched for age and sex. Quantitative histology, morphometry, and electron microscopy showed no difference between the two groups. Since there was no evidence that gluten sensitivity plays a role in the aetiology of multiple sclerosis, the wide adoption of gluten exclusion by patients seems unjustified.
在一项前瞻性调查中，将11名正常饮食的多发性硬化症患者的空肠活检样本与年龄和性别相匹配的对照组样本进行了比较。定量组织学、形态计量学和电子显微镜检查显示两组之间没有差异。由于没有证据表明麸质敏感性在多发性硬化症的病因学中起作用，患者广泛采用排除麸质的饮食似乎没有道理。
