Could Sourdough Bread Help Conquer Wheat Sensitivity?

I find it disturbing that wheat interest groups are funding this.  What will they do with the resulting data? I fear it will be skewed in favor of wheat promotion.

I think this is very interesting.  I have found that when I do take the rare occasion to eat sourdough bread, it does not upset my gut the way wheat bread does.  I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2016 at the age of 49 & it was very difficult going gluten-free.  I still struggle, but Schlotsky's always gets me! I was so relieved when it didn't give me an upset stomach.   I only do it a few times a year and am learning to make gluten-free sourdough bread right now.  I hope it's as good as Schlotsky's,  lol!

Please note from the article that the sourdough fermentation effect benefit is not touted for Celiacs but for non Celiacs with other gluten-related issues.

I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment.   I was just stating that as a person who was diagnosed with celiac,  sourdough bread doesn't effect my condition.   Period.  No further comment needed, thanks.

No offense intended. I just didn't make sense to me that a diagnosed Celiac would intentionally eat wheat bread, sourdough or otherwise, unless you were under the impression that it was okay for Celiacs and hence read that into the article.

1. Unless you're a medical professional and you subjected yourself to biopsy before and after eating sourdough bread (or can cite sound scientific data to support your claim), you're not in fact qualified to assert that sourdough bread "doesn't effect my condition". You can talk about your feelings and you can express your opinions (though you illustrate why that isn't necessarily a good thing), but you shouldn't be making unsubstantiated claims even about your own medical condition.
2. You shouldn't be making those claims because it's not just about you. A celiac shouldn't be playing Russian roulette with their diet. Worse, when you confidently assert that your condition was unaffected, others will be encouraged to follow suit. Your behavior is at best reckless, at worst, callously indifferent; in any case, it's dangerous.
3. If you consider your own comment tolerable (I can only assume you do), why is it less tolerable that others would quite appropriately qualify your irresponsible and at least equally unsolicited remarks? Are you the only one entitled to express yourself here? @trents was far kinder than you deserve. I join them in being concerned for your health and about your misreading and confusion. But I feel no need to buffer my perception that you're also endangering others, and I don't mind if you're offended; honestly, you might as well be, since your own behavior is offensive. To be crystal clear, your comment required a response. We're here because we're managing a serious medical condition. People read these forums in an attempt to improve, not worsen, their health.
4. Back to your own health, every time you consume wheat (with limited exceptions, and this isn't one), according to all the research I've read and the medical professionals I've talked to, you're certainly doing serious damage to your insides, delaying your healing and begging for unpleasant consequences, whether you feel it or not. Unless you know something I don't, it is never okay for a celiac to cheat on their gluten-free diet. IMO, those who come here suggesting that it is, should be generally disallowed the ability to comment.
