No one seems to really know the answers to these questions.

There does not appear to be any reason why somebody would be affected with one medical disorder rather than another.

This is true enough and one of the reasons it's really difficult to get doctors on board. Historically, it was believed to be only in the realm of the gastroenterologist. It left many people out of finding appropriate treatment/therapy.
Now, the medical community is very slowly becoming aware that *everything* in the body is affected and so all 'specialists' are going to need to be able to recognize it. This is the area of difficulty because present day testing is not really all that accurate. There are studies currently being done to try and establish other, more accurate testing.
However, even without the testing it is reassurring to see that many doctors in many fields are beginning to recognize gluten sensitivity for what it is, whether it's a DAN! doctor, a neurologist, a psychiatrist a heart specialist or a gastro.
And now that narcolepsy is being added to the list, even more people may have some hope to find relief.

There is an attempt in the paper at an explanation. However, the paper does not answer any of the questions raised.

My word, if the 'specialists' are having trouble explaining it, it's going to take the lay person awhile to figure out exactly how to do just that. Also, no single paper is going to answer every question. Heck, a whole book can't even answer every question.
Heidi, I must say, that is a *fabulous* paper! I enjoyed reading it a great deal! Lots of 'food for thought'.
Thank you for posting the link and allowing us all to open our minds just a little wider so that we can do a lot more pondering.
