re: Why do so many have Celiac disease?

I've asked people that didn't say they have celiacs just a gluten allergy about what happened. They say they just felt better. Ok, so you cut out a bunch of shite food you were eating from the frozen food section and all that canes.

They probably meant intolerance. If someone has a gluten or wheat allergy they probably would feel better not eating it.

Celiacs the auto immune disease where your immune system attacks the cilia in small intestine when digesting gluten. Ability to absorb certain nutrients becomes restricted for months after exposure. Higher risk of a certain cancer as well.

Wheat/gluten allergy which triggers immunity system response like other food allergies - extreme needing medicine or epipen or just makes you feel bad or rundown.

Intolerance is vague more intestinal without the immunity system attacking it or extended issues after exposure. People digest different things better or worse than others. My kid loves pickles, but when he eats a lot of them it’s like taking an exlax. Anything eaten with it passes through pretty quickly. Not really true malabsorption like with Celiac and not allergic, but if anyone has this issue with grain they may be better off avoiding it. But most gluten intolerance issues are probably closer to what you mentioned and feeling better is just about eating better.
