(and ELI10 too): is gluten pro inflammatory?

662 views

So, I tried asking it in askscience and my post got deleted, so I’m assuming this is a dumb question even though I’m just trying to understand a topic full of pseudoscience and it’s not a very uncommon assumption that gluten is just bad for health.
What I know is gluten can induce inflammatory response but for those who already have intolerance or allergy to it, but I’m not sure and nutrition is a very hard thing to get an answer for because there are a lot of misleading information. So, can anyone clarify this for me? I’ll gladly read some scientific articles too.
Thanks!

As a gluten intolerant person I can say from experience that some products cause me more problens/discomfort than others. The bread/gluten products I sometimes consume living in Australia are worse for me than the ones I have eaten while travelling through South East Asia, and this is more noticeable when said products were freshly baked. And some products, like Sour Dough bread, usually are better for me also.

I think (been unable to find conclusive evidence) it’s likely to do with how these products are processed and preserved, as its the only difference I have been able to find.
