A story - not being able to eat wheat

I spent a season speaking about food storage years ago traveling to wards in our stake and that usually included a 2 hour drive. As I prepared for this, I found a story. It was one of those things that I've regretted many, many times not saving.
There was an older gentleman and he had trouble eating wheat.

He said he'd read the counsel of the Lord and knew wheat was for man. He desired to know why he could not eat it. He pondered this for awhile and decided he needed to fast and pray and ask.

His answer was: "Eat less sugar."

He cut back on sugar and no longer had any problems eating wheat.
This may not apply to everyone today but is some of our not being able to tolerate wheat caused by too much of the other things we eat?

Honesty with ourselves will serve us well.

    Gluten intolerance is caused by an autoimmune reaction to a protein gliadin in wheat, rye, and barley. Also, most oats have been so contaminated with wheat that they are not safe for the gluten intolerant. Cutting out sugar may be very helpful in many ways, but it will not negate the immune reaction. Continuing to eat wheat, rye, and barley will greatly increase your chance for multiple other autoimmune diseases, as well as lymphoma. The chance for lymphoma is increased by 100 fold, if you are gluten intolerant and do not follow a gluten free diet. You will not necessarily have symptoms if you are gluten intolerant, but damage is still being done to your body.
