Most of the gluten-sensitive folks I know react mainly
to wheat gluten. That's a purely vegan substance.

Correct, but if it has the same make up as that used in jelly, then the body
could just be saying, "I've had enough". I feel sure that something of the
same process occurs in those who are diabetic, sensitive to sugar.

My logic leads me to think that too much of any denatured product ingested
as food can cause and 'equal and opposite' reaction, sometime. There is a
similarity here with the way homeopathic remedies work, rather than the more
simplistic allopathic reaction.
