It has been proven that gluten intolerance/sensitivity does not exist (while celiac disease is very real), so this article seems suspicious from the very first line. There are various studies about that, and even researchers that found some evidence about it, show that there is no such thing in more recent studies (10.1053/j.gastro.2013.04.051).

So many feel better by cutting wheat. What’s not known is why. It’s likely not related to gluten but more likely something associated like yeast or simply keeping a better diet overall when avoiding gluten. I never heard the pesticide link before, and it seems it should be pretty easy to rule out since the increase should be smaller whereever glyphosate is banned?

Wheat makes my belly look like a beach ball in under 30 minutes. Dunno if it's an insensitivity or intolerance, but that's how it is.

According to some research, it may be caused by FODMAPs, which are present in wheat. Evidence is still rather weak though.

You're going to call a study with 37 participants proof?

No, there are various studies, but I picket that one just because is from the very same researchers that got different results previously.
