But gluten-free eating is more than a trend.
I grew up in a home where bread and pasta were everywhere. In the late 1950s, one of my teenage cousins died of what my father obliquely called “intestinal disease.” From the time I was born, in 1963, until the time he died, in 2002, my father also suffered daily from a similar and agonizing intestinal affliction. The ileostomy he had in 1988 did little to ease his pain. It was only 12 years later, when he removed his beloved bread and pasta from his diet, that he became healthy for the first time in his life.

Finally! A newspaper article that doesn't condemn avoiding gluten without a celiac diagnosis. Will wonders never cease?

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
