studies. Just Do It. My niece is full blown celiac. I'm not, but into it just a short time and see differences already. Davis makes a case that Everyone should be gluten free...it's not that hard unless you're addicted to snacks and fast food. You have to cook your own meals and make your own snacks, but there is life after the glutenous grains. And it often cure whatever ails you.

Even if you think it's Woo Woo, why not try it for a month. My small changes started within the first week. And it's a really fast way to lose weight, helps diabetics, joint pain (I had a little,now I have less), my cravings went away, just illness in general. Had experienced some incontinence, almost gone. One week.

The internet is full of gluten free food you can make. but it's mostly fruits, vegetables, dairy, fish/chicken, legumes,seeds and nuts. That's plenty of variety to live off. Also, flaxseed meal is entirely gluten free, very fiber-full and healthy, awesome for crackers, flat bread, etc. I'm trying Betty Crocker's Gluten free flour, so will see.
