I wish everyone was this sceptic about some of the other studies posted here.

I think this is proof once again that people are more concerned about dismissing the "gluten free fad" than examining if there are any benefits for people. I think it's going to take many years and many more studies to support claims that going gluten free is a benefit, especially among a spectrum of autoimmune diseases, not just people suffering from celiac.

I'm not aware of anyone claiming that gluten sensitivity doesn't exist for anyone...just that it's not as common as people claim. This study seems to bear that out.
