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!

It depends. Like most things, the answer is more complicated than both sides like to admit. (Side one being it is the cause of all suffering and side two being gluten is great unless you’re diagnosed Celiac). There could very well be a sliding scale of tolerance.
For example, look into inflammatory bowl syndrome. There are clear links to non-Celiac gluten intolerance [(reference)](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4690093/).
If you think you might have a sensitivity, talk to your doctor. You can also try reducing/removing gluten for a few weeks and see if makes a noticeable difference.
