That is very cool but celiac and gluten sensitivity isn’t always triggered in everyone by all wheat.

Check this out, that I read the other day.

This may explain why ancient wheats like Einkorn don’t bother me (I am not celiac but I can’t digest enriched American wheat). They are harder to cook with though so I’d like to experiment with some organic unenriched fresh wheat as well.

I’m sure there is some genetic quirk that causes people to have this trouble, especially celiac. But some people with celiac can digest wheat fine in Italy, for example. There needs more explaining. Nevertheless, this finding is great work.

Yes, there is a gene for Celiac. It is not always turned on at birth for reasons not understood.

I was diagnosed over a decade ago with genetic testing and a scope. I had had symptoms for more than a decade, which corresponded to being pregnant with one of my children.

Being ill, pregnancy, or bodily trauma all seem to be able to trigger the gene to begin working. Hopefully treatment will be able to turn it off someday.
