Celiac disease isn’t the only reason people avoid gluten, though. It’s possible,if the gut is injured or there’s a bad overgrowth of candida (usually caused by overuse of antibiotics), for foods to be accessible to the rest of the body prior to being fully digested. And i n that case, foods commonly eaten can trigger reactions that are not exactly allergy, but similar. It’s not nice when it’s happening. But, some people get it into their heads that gluten or other foods were the real problem, and then they get anti-gluten religion and take it to extremes for extended periods.
Damned internet!
