177. I think he skipped the part

where those who are sensitive to gluten and gliadins eventually form micro tears in their small intestinal mucosa, which allows the proteins to leak out fairly unchanged and are then able to bond to the opiate receptors.

My own personal experience with getting off of gluten was that it felt like I imagined getting off drugs would feel like. I was really, really, jumping out of my skin, my blood pressure was through the roof and I had lots of other food intolerances, frankly my stomach was in no mood to accept anything.

After I was clean, I went back to feeling normal (actually better than I had felt in about 20 years), though, now, if I get an accidental exposure, my body is hypersensitive and it hurts, a lot. Needless to say, there are no purposeful exposures. I can't look at glutenous items without feeling a bit of revulsion. Lucky for me, actually.
