Let's begin with stating that I am not gluten intolerant. At least, not by any self-observed standard. I can consume bread with no observable issues. I do, however, have issues when I consume seitan, which is pure gluten.
I watched a video from Thomas O'Bryan stating that ALL humans ALWAYS suffer intestinal permeability from ANY gluten exposure (regardless if you have Celiac's or not). Some people, such as myself, do not manifest gastrological physical symptoms from lower FODMAP foods like bread and cereal, but may suffer things such as anxiety, sleeplessness, skin rash, etc. However, when I am exposed to pure gluten, things start to go south (loose stools, violently offensive flatulence, etc, slight stomach pressure, slight nausea, etc.). Here is the video below:
Can anyone here explain what the approach is to this from the Ray Peat perspective? I'd love to start this discussion, not necessarily to integrate wheat, but to understand the pathway of hidden inflammatory foods and ways to address them in modern society.
Also, please respond to this question, if you can spare some time for it: Does eating gluten and "damaging" the gut lining have any affect towards the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" premise? Does it ultimately enhance the recovery of gut healing and thus prevent you from suffering from permeability cases in future incidents?
