I really don't know. This is the consensus from people who write

books and from people on listgroups. It seems that a lot

of people got diagnosed as children, then " grew out of it "

and seemed ok. Then they got really sick in the late teens and early

20s. Then got " cured " again. Then got really sick in their 40s. Both

guys and gals. I suspect it does have to do with hormones though.

My story was pretty much the same pattern. Which is one

reason I am very dubious about people who say they can " cure "

gluten intolerance ... it " goes underground " pretty easily. Though

in the biographies the folks who were " cured " still had lots

of health issues, just little neurotic ones.
