Some people are genetically predisposed to develop coeliac disease, an immune system reaction within the gut itself.
But I believe for many the disease is preventable, triggered within the gut on the basis of the patients’ own actions.
I am a firm believer in the idiom ‘all things in moderation’ and that our food system is nearly irreconcilably toxic.
If consumers don’t make good choices to change market demands - including prodding their congresscritters...another discussion altogether - nothing will ever change for the bulk of the populace.
Truly Russian Roulette...but in most cases with a very, very slow poison.

Indeed, there is a genetic component. Two copies of a certain gene means high likelihood of celiac, one copy “intolerance”. Ive got one, life goes on without wheat. Its not that hard to cut out wheat if you can cook. I miss Guiness and crusty bread.
