14. Actually, I am disagreeing with the premise that this particular study showed much of anything.

No, I don't find it amazing that no one in a small study showed signs of gluten sensitivity. That was one of my points.

I've seen too many scientific studies "prove" something, only to have later scientific studies "disprove" it.

And my other point is that who sponsors or funds or initiates a scientific study seems to have a lot to do with what that particular scientific study "proves."

No foods bother me, but I'll stand by my prior post. In fact, I'll stand by everything that I said in my prior post.
