I don't believe that to be the case. Proteins are broken down in digestion and reconstructed to meet the body's needs. Can you supply links to some good scientific evidence to support that claim? We have dealt with that idea many times on this forum in relation  to cows eating gluten-containing grains and causing celiac reactions in those who consume their meat.

If gluten were broken down in digestion, we wouldn't be reacting to them. 

The natural diet of chickens, cattle, and pigs is not corn, wheat, and soy. GMO is also a factor. I suggest you check out the writings of Dr. Steven Grundy. The most sensitive people may react to grain-fed meat. I was unable to eat eggs for years without an inflammatory response until I discovered pastured eggs last year. Now I can eat as many eggs as I want. 

A person can certainly get enough calories eating animal products, vegetables, and fruit. I think he needs to consider that gluten-free products may be highly processed and inferior in nutrition than eating foods prepared from basic ingredients. Mashed root vegetables with butter instead of bread, for instance. 

Some people are so sensitive to grains and soybeans that they react to the proteins that animals fed these pass into meat, dairy products, poultry, and eggs. I can eat some dairy products (pastured yogurt and most cheeses) and pastured eggs, but get serious inflammation from non-pastured products. 

I make grain-free flatbreads using a variety of flours like almond flour, cassava flour, tapioca starch, millet flour, bean flour, etc. Pizza dough tastes best using yeast as leavening and extra virgin olive oil. Crushed rosemary/garlic powder/oregano for flavoring optional. The dough will not roll out, but just press it into a greased nonstick pan. 

Canola oil is not a natural food for humans. Liquid vegetable oils have been newly introduced into the human diet since the start of the industrial age, and are nothing like what we evolved on.
