Oh damn, I have family that's not far off from that. The mother has diagnosed herself and all her kids as gluten intolerant. One of her boys was with us on vacation and we were talking about where we were going to eat. Somebody mentioned a certain food.
Oh, I can't eat that.
Why not.
It's got gluten in it.
So you're allergic to gluten?
Uh huh
What happens if you eat it?
I don't know.
Mama say gluten causes every ailment under the sun.
