You really do not know what you are talking about.

My husband was only a few days away from death when he was diagnosed with Celiac. He was put on a gluten free diet and within a couple of weeks was a new person.

If he get any gluten or wheat even touching his food he is deathly ill for three days.

The fact is that this is the most highly misdiagnosed disease

Try doing some research before spewing an uninformed opinion. The wife of one our local police officers is an avid runner. She kept getting hairline fractures in her feet. It turns out that she is intolerant to gluten. The consequence for her is the inability to take up sufficient calcium from her food. She has severe osteoporosis caused by gluten intolerance.

I have problems with wheat and milk. Consuming anything with wheat causes a heavy postnasal drip and congestion in my lungs within 10 minutes. The consequences don't stop there. Over the next 36 hours, my digestive tract becomes inflamed and bleeds like crazy. It's way beyond a Preparation H moment. Witch hazel helps until the inflammation subsides. Milk is a double whammy. The milk proteins cause my throat to swell. The lactose causes lots of acid and gas.

If you don't have problems with wheat and/or mile, consider yourself lucky. Just don't assume that everyone else is equally Ok. I really enjoy the smell of baking bread. I'm happy to limit my enjoyment to the fine fragrance. Ditto for pizza.
