What is the main problem causing Gluten Intolerance and/or Celiac's Disease?

For our church carry in dinners, we make laminated signs. For the coffee pots, one says, “Regular” another “Decaff.” We have “hot and spicy” “Sugar Free” and our newest, “Gluten Free.” It seems obvious to me that there is an ever-growing number of people who have gone gluten free because of severe digestive issues.

Not too long ago, doctors would label a number of conditions as psychosematic, “in your head.” Many of those conditions now have medical names and are no longer considered imagined.
