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.

The tips of the cilia in the small intestine make lactase. In the gluten intolerant, the cilia tips are damaged first. That presents as lactose intolerance...my specific issue with fresh milk. Avoiding gluten long enough can permit recovery of the cilia and resolution of the lactose intolerance. If you have casein problems, the cleavage of casein to beta casomorphin can pass through a leaky gut and bind to receptors in the brain. That presents as narcotic intoxication. My project manager’s wife has that complication to her gluten intolerance.
