More Questions than Answers - Gluten Intolerance

I'm not knocking Gluten Intolerance. I've seen first hand what eliminating gluten can do for health. Both good and bad. I don't have any answers. I want to put that out there right now so you don't read this whole article waiting for the cure to all disease (which is what my next book is going to be about by the way ; >)

I noticed years ago that when I ate gluten, my finger felt stiff. Fat is how they really felt, but stiff is probably the correct term. I don't know why I originally eliminated gluten, I'm sure I read something somewhere that associated gluten with joint stiffness. Anyway, when I cut it out, my fingers felt fine. Seems pretty straight forward, right? Well, it would have been except it wasn't consistent. After eliminating gluten for awhile,  I reintroduced it with no problems (but still thinking it was a horrible thing because of what I'd read.) Anyway, since I don't really notice a problem with gluten anymore I would have it sometime. Recently I've noticed I've been very fatigued (okay, it's actually been years now.) And I think 'part' of the reason is because I wasn't getting enough carbs.

Yes, there are other options, but gluten containing products are usually high carb. Anyway, no answer there right?

New addition to the equation ... Vitamin B one is important in the carb digestion process. So is vitamin C (and probably tons of others vitamins and minerals.) Is it possible that there are so many cases of gluten intolerance because a lot of people have vitamin deficiencies? I don't know, but I sure wish someone would come up with an easy answer!!
