I am not going to bother you about your gluten but how the heck was European civilization built on bread as “the staff of life”? How did our ancestors eat bread without any ill effect for a few thousand years? My theory is certain people have a problem with wheat and gluten not due to gluten but due to other things going on that our ancestors did not have. And that we don’t have either if we do certain things
My ancestry is 50% Irish. Gluten intolerance is common. Undetected it leads to infant deaths labeled “failure to thrive”. My milk intolerance was spotted quickly as an infant. Soy based formula solved the problem. That is still what I drink at age 57. My father had no gluten issues and echoed your “staff of life” remark. The increased incidence
may be due to changes in farming practices.
