Yeah, the husband has it. And gluten shows up in the strangest places.
And many people even have contact reactions.

Tony was told he had colitis or Crohn's and was seeing specialists for
two years. He was getting sicker and sicker. My regular doctor also help
treat some diseases, including colitis, through nutrition. All it took
was a simple blood test.

The reason T kept getting so sick? His go-to foods when his stomach hurt
were cream of wheat and french bread. Every time he ate, he got sicker.

It does also seem to have a genetic component. Most of his family has a
gluten intolerance on some level and a few also have full-blow celiac.
