I believe the problem is in our food supply. The type of wheat available today is not what people ate even two generations ago. Wheat Belly by William Davis is a good read.

I think it would be great if they could actually isolate what causes the problem and then possibly find something to help with it. The only thing is is, if it is an allergic reaction, I'm not sure if they will really ever be able to make something that will keep us from not experiencing the reaction, but I'm sure they can help with the after affects of it. Cool article though!!
