I read this article, and felt somewhat like the researchers were
a hammer seeing only nails.  They had a few medical tests they
were using, and only a few ideas.  It is Very common in people with
gluten intolerance to get "leaky gut" and have reactions to many
foods, particularly non-gluten grains and dairy.  Since this is not a histamine
situation, food allergy testing is useless.  People with severe digestive
problems are not generally suffering a psychosomatic illness, and the
solution to their problems is not to boost their intake of carbohydrates.

My 2c worth, anyway.  Did anybody else get the same "take" on this
article?
