I would disagree on Gluten, many people with an Autoimmune disease have a sensitivity to either (GMO) wheat , yeast or Gluten, in the end bread or bread products. Maybe 5 years or so ago, I had a several month episode of the worst to date RA Flare. I tried acupuncture, and then I read about Gluten and RA. I had a history then of having a 3 to 4 day RA Flares that would keep me out of work every 1 to 3 months. After I went Gluten Free, I stopped the flares, and worked until I retired. I understand some people are using this as a diet, and cutting back on fast acting carbs will help lose weight. I do think there is a fair amount of the population that would benefit from trialing a 2 week Gluten Free diet, if they feel OK when they resume wheat, no problem, if they get sick, maybe they need to consider a 6 month GF period. My wife had to do that related to Gut issues, and then resumed all the foods she took a break from, and felt good again.
