More like not fully understood. (Gluten intolerance)

Too many variables and a lot of marketing hype around the sale of products with higher margins for companies.

I've suspected that much of it has been a feedback loop between the medical community and product manufacturers.

Anecdotally-

Friends and family that have claimed gluten intolerance have been able to eat the breads I bake with no issues for decades.

I truly think I had something else going on and blamed it on gluten.

It very well could have been gluten at some point. But there is no real help with any of it from doctors.

My doctor can’t explain why I *can* eat it again.

Trying to work up the courage to try eggs now… hoping for the same result 🤣

Agreed.

The reasons for gluten intolerance may be fairly wide spread and caused by a number of factors. (Humans are, unsurprisingly, fairly complex organisms)

That it can be temporary would be another likelihood.

I'm reminded of the cases of Alpha-gal Syndrome.

I’ve heard of it. I’m always wondering what makes us sick, how to solve it, and why the f we don’t even know when we *can* eat the stupid food again
