Anybody with any of the IBS diseases (colitis, Crohn's, etc.) is advised to be consider some moderation in their wheat consumption, I think.
Having said that, it is regrettable that so many Americans have decided to "cure" a host of physical and pshychological maladies with the "gluten-free" diet. Every moment you spend chasing a figment is a moment you don't spend fixing a real problem.
- rjsw 11y agoIn your expert opinion, what is the real problem ? The symptoms of gluten intolerance are not serious enough for a doctor to be interested, it is also easy enough to try changing your diet for a week or two in order to see if it makes a difference.

A good doc would tell you to consider testing your way through FODMAPS since there have been a bunch of recent publications about them in major medical journals. As the GP poster points out, though, many people might take the idea of an elimination diet and figure they can eat all the gluten-free toaster waffles they want, which would continue to cause all the same problems if FODMAPS rather than gluten were the problem. Most starch-filled gluten free replacement foods are not good for your health anyway.
