Some gluten intolerance even tests out as normal. But for people with nerve issues and PN... it can really be a trigger.

Gluten intolerance is not always Celiac which is genetic. Some people with severe intolerance test normal on Celiac panels and even with endoscope testing.
I must be confused; I was under the impression that gluten intolerance was in relation to diabetes. Since I do not have diabetes I figured this would not be a problem for me -thus eating wheat would not be a problem either.

As it is I don't eat much wheat to begin with -I eat whole grain white bread most of the time. This makes me wonder about oatmeal, too...as in would oats/oatmeal create the same problems?
