Long COVID and gluten sensitivity

I am not convinced that the gluten content is the major problem in gluten intolerance. I have always been able to tolerate wheat in Europe where they don't use as many chemicals to process the crops. All I can say for sure is that I have chemical intolerance but I do not have problems with the 00 flour. My doctor's father's hands swell up from gluten containing products in the U.S. but he has no problem with the 00 flour. I work in environmental health research.

Perhaps it is not the gliadin and or glutenin in wheat that is causing you problems, but is other contained proteins or chemical compounds (also a research scientist). Do you also react to the gluten proteins in rye and/or barley? I have celiac and the HLA DQ8 0302 haplotype, so for me it is the gluten. Some folk have trouble digesting the nasty proteins. All I know is that I miss croissants. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5084031/
