I have some allergies that the allergy doc’s test doesn’t show; he said they are there but not by histamine reaction. Do you support these?

Also, what about things like gluten and dairy sensitivity?

Most people with a gluten allergy have celiacs which is not an allergy at all, but rather an autoimmune disorder.

It’s similar enough to an allergy, though

A wheat allergy, though, is fairly common: order of 1% per [1], similar to celiac. And if you're allergic to wheat, then it's suffices to avoid gluten, since wheat contains gluten.

(Also, there are forms of gluten intolerance that are neither a wheat allergy nor celiac.)

But for those of us who have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, does this help?
