Hi there. I'm actually in the process of changing to a gluten free diet at the reccomendation of a nutrionalist. I have immune system issues that traditional medicine can't say why I do, just that I do. Through the mind gut connection, there have been some serious studies, cited by multiple neurologists where they reccomend that those who have immune system issues almost always have a sensitivity to gluten. Not celiacs, a sensitivity. Since I don't want to make my neuro issues worse, I'm going gluten free. I can still get whole grains by black and brown rice, because whole just means intact. Good luck navigating! Theresa
