The only best thing I do is try to find gluten free substitutes.....example....gluten free pizza etc.

I avoid Gluten as much as possible and I seem to be doing ok.  Whether Gluten intolerance or Celiac I tell everyone that Gluten isn't good for anyone.  Hard to digest.   I'm sure we all wonder how many people out there have a problem and have no idea it's the gluten that is causing the problem,.

True......I'll give you that one.   

True......but then I wonder how many people even know what gluten is and where it comes from etc.

I had that same thought......if a friend has some symptoms that seem familiar to me I would certainly mention that possibility.  I can imagine if you mentioned about getting tested to some people you might have them give you that "deer in the headlights" look.  I do know that with some people you even mention Celiac and they have no clue.    One good thing...I keep seeing an increasing amount of foods in the grocery store labeled "Gluten Free".   🙂

Absolutely.  As I had mentioned before,  if it were feasible and/or possible,  perhaps diagnosis of children by doctors and/or pediatricians for the antibodies would be very beneficial.  Perhaps it could be considered a silent disease doing it's damage until really serious symptoms occur?

I should have studied it more , but there are food allergies and then there is an autoimmune response to  gluten,  but whether it is just considered an allergy or an autoimmune  response or both,  I would think peanut allergy can be one of the worst and be life threatening from what I've read

Hmmmm....interesting.  I know there was some other issues with the Covid shots and it seems like the people with Gluten problems seems to be growing.

When I think of it when I was young I remember my mother seeing a gastroenterologist in the 50s and I doubt that they ever knew what was causing her problem/problems at that time.

Maybe the only way to confirm that possibility would be to do (beneficial?) tests on all young children for gluten antibodies which might avoid any and all damage for years before they really get bad?

Excellent article.  That very same thing happened to me at 75.
