“Imagine gluten consumption on a spectrum. At one end, you have people with celiac disease who cannot tolerate even a trace of gluten in their diet. At the other end, you have those fortunate individuals who can eat pizza, pasta, and bread without experiencing any negative effects. In the middle lies a large gray area with various types of gluten reactions, including gluten sensitivity.”
