LOL - I stopped listening to the "so called" medical expert "faux facts" some time ago. Eat things in moderation. Medical opinions are like AH's, everybody has one.

Lucy Oakley, be wary of generalising from one family as there may well be a genetic link. Not long ago, I did a little research on this topic. Here is one summary I came across with regard to Celiac disease, the most severe form. "a 2018 review of 96 studies of Celiac disease taken all around the world, it was determined that the current worldwide prevalence of celiac disease is 1.4% based on blood tests and 0.7% based on biopsy results. The prevalence of celiac disease was 0.4% in South America, 0.5% in Africa and North America, 0.6% in Asia, and 0.8% in Europe and Oceania. The prevalence was higher in female than male individuals, and was significantly greater in children than adults."

Gluten can cause allergic reactions, but even a small amount is harmful to people who are Celiac. That is not an allergy. Celiac is an auto-immune disease.

I agree with some of these and disagree with others—through experience and some research. What I find disturbing is that the answers are basically wordy “yes or no” answers. What is lacking these days is that people don’t state their sources, if they even have any. :-(

Gluten intolerance is not rare. I have two sisters and umpteen cousins who are gluten intolerant. Also a large percentage of people in Ireland and Italy are as well
