It's great to see an in-depth article that uses real science to call time on the pseudo-science peddled by intolerance testing companies to worried parents and others.
Well worth reading of you are considering getting tested for food allergies or intolerance.

‘They’re all junk, and should be banned’: the trouble with at-home food intolerance tests

A multimillion-pound industry has sprung up promising it can detect sensitivities to certain ingredients with a simple remote finger prick test. But the results can be misleading – and even dangerous

I have to stay tough and not give in. No more variety of diet for Miss Pepperpot.

Gluten sensitivity: It’s not actually about gluten
https://www.unimelb.edu.au/newsroom/news/2025/october/gluten-sensitivity-its-not-actually-about-gluten

Lead researcher, University of Melbourne Associate Professor Jessica Biesiekierski, says there's a popular belief that most people with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity are reacting to gluten when it's far more likely they have a sensitivity to FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols). She also highlights the importance of the gut-brain axis.

Associate Professor Jason Tye-Din, Director of the Snow Centre for Immune Health and a gastroenterologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, said: "This review supports a more personalised, evidence-based approach to gut health and avoids unnecessary dietary restriction."

IMHO, it would be a more helpful and accurate representation of the article if whoever wrote the headline stated that gut sensitivity is not always about gluten. Putting aside my concern about clickbaitism, the article itself is excellent, and very much in line with my own reading/research and personal experience with food intolerance that leads to gastrointestinal problems.

Một người cha đã tạo ra SnackCheck.ai, một công cụ AI giúp kiểm tra thành phần thực phẩm cho người bị dị ứng hoặc không dung nạp thực phẩm. Ứng dụng cho phép người dùng chọn các chất gây dị ứng, chụp ảnh danh sách thành phần và nhận biết sản phẩm có an toàn hay không. Ứng dụng cũng cho phép chia sẻ hồ sơ dị ứng với người thân và bạn bè.

I had the last slice earlier of an accidental/experimental loaf.

For some years I've noticed that bread but not other wheat products (pasta, pancakes, munker etc.) seems to cause my heart to pound uncomfortably and blood pressure to spike. But being so unmemorable (if I can put it like that), I occasionally make bread without salt, and I began to notice in the last year that this (rather than, e.g., no yeast) seemed not to have that association.

Since America dropped testing of parasites, harmful bacteria, and viruses in dairy products and poultry, I will continue to not eat them.

I didn't eat them due to casein intolerance in milk, cheese, and related products. And I didn't eat much poultry because I can't handle touching them raw to cook them. I also don't have the health to cook most days.

So I'm accidentally vegan. lol Now I'm likely choosing it because it'll be dangerous to buy it in the US. #Food #Disability #FoodIntolerance

1. Have wheat intolerance
2. Ate breaded fish last night
3. Feel like I have the flu this morning

Why do I do this? It's hard living with someone who won't keep wheat on her side of the fridge/freezer/pantry.
