Food allergies and intolerance aren’t just on the rise — they are reaching a dangerous crescendo.

Today we stopped at a local café for a taco and asked for corn tortillas as opposed to flour. The cashier’s reaction was immediate: “Are you allergic? Gluten-free?”

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. When someone has an issue with gluten, eating the protein causes damage to their intestinal lining, making it hard for them to properly absorb vital nutrients from their food. This can wreak all kinds of havoc on a person’s body in lots of different ways. Some people have an auto-immune reaction to gluten that is so bad that eating gluten can can cause the body to attack itself. This life-threatening condition is called Celiac Disease.

Even for those who have non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, eating wheat can manifest in myriad painful ways, so most people are misdiagnosed for years with other disorders and given medications that only help them mask symptoms without ever solving the real problem.
