The one problem is that these people are constantly eating gluten. The gut needs time to heal from things that bother it, and while inflamed anything will bother it. I have a gluten intolerance. If I am eating gluten constantly, I will get sick on many foods for a while; gluten free or not.
I think overall this headline is just click bait. We shouldn't be looking to prove that "x thing does not exist" because people in real life do experience x and saying a test proves otherwise doesn't just make that condition vanish. Instead we should be looking at "is x really y" or "is there something we don't understand about x".
- hashkb 10y agoIt won't make your condition vanish, but it will help you find out what is really happening. If it's not the gluten, and it's something else, wouldn't you a) want to know? and b) let off the slander campaign against bread?
- clacke2 10y agoIf "y" isn't a thing, then "is x really y" has been answered. Gluten is not the only thing wheat is made of. The research suggests, but it has not been confirmed, that FODMAPs may be the thing that many people diagnosed as gluten-sensitive are actually sensitive to, and the gluten is just a proxy.
