i no longer believe in gluten intolerance and i owe it all to iodine. i ate a half loaf of french bread with my daughter yesterday with no ill effects. a couple of years ago i would have been doubled over in pain and bloated like a toad. it was a test, of course, and i dont plan on eating that way regularly, but if i want to, i can. Iodine has made all the difference, much more than avoidance for three years before ever did.
