So... all those fucking assholes that suddenly decided that they and their kids had a "gluten-sensitivity", buying that dry, shitty-tasting gluten free bullshit....
Guess what?
They are full of shit! Gluten-sensitivity my ASS!
I think if someone put out a "study" that exotic whey proteins caused everything from weight gain, farts, and seizures... people would suddenly come down with the symptoms.
Researchers Who Provided Key Evidence For Gluten Sensitivity Have Now Thoroughly Shown That It Doesn't Exist
In one of the best examples of science working, a researcher who provided key evidence of (non-celiac disease) gluten sensitivity recently published follow-up papers that show the opposite.

For a follow-up paper, 37 self-identified gluten-sensitive patients were tested. According to Real Clear Science's Newton Blog, here's how the experiment went:
Subjects would be provided with every single meal for the duration of the trial. Any and all potential dietary triggers for gastrointestinal symptoms would be removed, including lactose (from milk products), certain preservatives like benzoates, propionate, sulfites, and nitrites, and fermentable, poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates, also known as FODMAPs. And last, but not least, nine days worth of urine and fecal matter would be collected. With this new study, Gibson wasn't messing around.
The subjects cycled through high-gluten, low-gluten, and no-gluten (placebo) diets, without knowing which diet plan they were on at any given time. In the end, all of the treatment diets even the placebo diet caused pain, bloating, nausea, and gas to a similar degree. It didn't matter if the diet contained gluten.
It seems to be a "nocebo" effect the self-diagnosed gluten sensitive patients expected to feel worse on the study diets, so they did. They were also likely more attentive to their intestinal distress, since they had to monitor it for the study.
