It’s the same way Celiac Disease responds to gluten. I nearly lost my wife in 2005 with the same exact set of symptoms. God bless that little one.
My adult daughter also has this, but to a much lesser extent. She used to drink Pepto Bismol like it was candy before she was diagnosed. It helped only some. Her “allergy” is to anything with barley in it. She does remarkably well in taking care of herself so far.
