The takeaway from this research wasn't "this is all in people's heads", it's "there's something else about wheat that has a negative impact on some folks; science's best guess has been that it's gluten, but it's likely something else in wheat."
Here is, for example, an article written by a less linkbaity news source than Business Insider: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/05/22/314287321/sensitive-to-gluten-a-carb-in-wheat-may-be-the-real-culprit http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/05/22/314287321/sen...
If folks have doubts about whether some sensitivity to wheat exists in some people, searching PubMed for "gluten sensitivity" or "NCGS" should hopefully dispel those doubts.
Or I guess you could hang out in an enclosed space with my in-laws after they eat bread. It's pretty unmistakeable.
