Novak Djokovich found out that he was gluten insensitive. After he discovered that he was unbeatable for a while...long enough to become the #1 tennis player in the world.
He still is.

Of interest, ping.

I am extremely insensitive to gluten. I insult it in public, step on its toes, call it names. That sort of thing.

I am completely insensitive to gluten. I eat every day with no adverse reaction. It’s a protein that has supported the human race for millennia.

1. Avoid anything with flour/wheat

2. Take LOTS of probiotics & fermented food (saurkraut, Keifer, yoghurt)

3. Once or more per day drink a shake containing water, a couple tablespoons of psyllium husk and powdered bentonite clay (buy at some weird hippy store).

4. Raw Apple Cider vinegar, also

Do that strictly for about 9 or 10 months and you’re fine —doesn’t work right away.

Your rashes and lots of your sniffles will be done.

The University of Maryland has a great celiac disease center. Here is its FAQ on gluten sensitivity.

Ummm, so if I am gluten-insensitive, why do I have to worry about it?

I don’t think that I’m gluten sensitive or insensitive... I just know that ever since (2 months ago, at age 58) I’ve really, really tried to eliminate it from my diet, I’ve lost 20 pounds.

I work on the “2 sentence” diet:

1: The only fatal mistake is to skip breakfast.
2: Get rid of pasta and bread.

Damn, now Bloomberg is going to ban wheat in NYC.

And while we're on the subject of quiet epidemics, one's that "gone metagenic" might plausibly become root causes for a "Zombie Apocalypse," here's one that had me scratching my head for two days.

And I don't own a cat or eat unwashed vegetables.

I didn’t know I had a sensitivity to wheat and grains, maybe a craving that did make me feel badly after. I love not eating gluten. I feel a million times better. It’s been 18 months and I’ll never eat gluten foods again.

After going through all sorts of tests and eliminating all sorts of things, including gluten from my diet, it became evident that the intense itching I had on my arm was from my statin. It took several years of dermatologists and the whole battery of allergy tests to finally pinpoint the problem. So glad it wasn't gluten.

And just to add a little fuel to the fire..Where does a lot of our wheat gluten coming from?
That’s right, China. Adulterated? Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
Remember this? IIRC the ‘secret’ ingredient was melamine.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration blocked imports of wheat gluten from a Chinese company Monday. The agency identified the company as the source of the tainted wheat gluten that caused a massive pet-food recall last week.....

Does this include beer?

Many more Americans are food hypochondriacs then is commonly believed.
