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.
Thanks. I cannot prove causality but I think junk food eating and processed food eating in general can lead to gluten intolerance. It messes up their system and makes their system “sensitive” and “allergic” to things they never were.IOW they are not exactly victims of gluten intolerance. They made themselves this way
Not in all people but in some. And it can be undone. Lactose intolerance is different because huge groups of people are born with it in varying degrees with certain orientals being known for it. But the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans are scarfing down pizza pies these days. The oriental (NE Asian) lactose intolerance varies from person to person.
