    You can have a thing without knowing what the thing is. Otherwise, by your logic… avoiding learning the definition of cancer would make one immune to cancer.

    Your friend clearly had an issue with gluten. Good for her for taking care of it.

      I read somewhere a while back that you can have health benefits from cutting anything out of your diet, even if you don’t have any negative reactions to what you cut out.

      Gluten intolerance is still a possibility, but not the only possibility.

        Likely because it just forces you to pay attention to what you are consuming. One of the most important parts of eating healthily is just paying attention to what you’re eating.
