My spouse found out he had a gluten-intolerance after being mis-diagnosed for 15 years, gluten intolerance is not a lifestyle choice, it's necessary to preserve the ability of your intenstines to absorb nutrients, women are most often mis-diagnosed.

Celiac is the #1 genetic autoimmune disease in the world and remains the most misdiagnosed. It is estimated that 3 million Americans are affected and 97% don’t even know it…yet. There is no cure, no pills, no drug therapies. The “cure” is a Gluten-Free diet. The only disease in the world completely controlled by diet is also: “The #1 Disease You’ve Never Heard Of”.
