Dr. Tabatha Barber argues that gluten has been genetically modified so much over the past century that our bodies no longer recognize it, triggering immune attacks. She suggests removing gluten may sometimes be necessary to protect your gut.
Gluten is a very, very common trigger because it's the protein in wheat that has been genetically modified over this past century so much that our body doesn't even recognize it anymore. And so our immune system is constantly attacking when we eat gluten. Gluten stands for glue. It's like what makes glute bread chewy and dough, like. And glue. It sticks to you, you know, like pancakes. So sometimes getting rid of gluten is necessary.
