impair your health. However, and as we've discussed before, over avoiding gluten can also

detract from your health because of the fear, stress, and social repercussions this carries.

In Chapter 17 of my book, we will review what the evidence says about gluten and use this to

craft an accurate and reasonable set of recommendations.

We will also cover how to determine when the problem isn't actually gluten, but might be

something else like FODMAP sensitivity or bacterial overgrowth.

And this is very important because addressing these may allow you to

eat gluten again. And, you know, that it's very nice and you can then be devoid of the
