What is Gluten Intolerance?
Gluten intolerance is a serious medical condition and similar to celiac disease, 
requires a "gluten-free lifestyle" as treatment. 
What is gluten-free?

Current medical knowledge indicates that the number of people affected by the gluten-free diet could approach 15% of the global population, as research continues. See Related health conditions and Do the Celiac Test If... 

Malnutrition and malabsorption - - caused by celiac - - affect every system of the body. Silent, or symptomless, celiac is often celiac with overlooked symptoms.

When some people eat food with gluten in it, the immune system attacks the gluten as a poison or infection invading the body. The digestive system  (intestinal lining) is also under attack. 

Over time, the immune system response causes damage that leads to malnutrition, cancers, lung, heart and blood diseases, and more.
