Has anyone ever mentioned IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? I'm asking this because: 1. There is no way to accurately test for a gluten sensitivity. If you are negative for celiac, go off gluten & feel better, then you have a sensitivity. 2. Often times people with IBS are treated with a FODMAP diet. One of the FODMAPs is gluten.
