In general, are we so much more sensitive to gluten, wheat versus other grains?

Amber asked, “In general, are we so much more sensitive to gluten, wheat versus other grains?”

Chris: I think it’s the structure of the protein, Amber. The complexity of the protein, especially as wheat has been hybridized over time. It’s just more antigenic, so that’s typically what the consensus is in terms of why we’re reactive to it.
