You will also find, below the listed diseases, a "pharmacological actions" field set which lists 20 distinct ways in which wheat harms the body, e.g. nerve-damaging (neurotoxic), immune-damaging (immunoreactive), inflammatory, etc.
At present, the conventional medical establishment only identifies a handful of disorders likely to be caused by wheat consumption, such as:
Wheat Allergy
Celiac Disease
Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Exercise-Induced Wheat Anaphylaxis
These conditions, however, are but the tip of a massive "celiac" iceberg. In a previous essay, The Dark Side of Wheat, we discussed the problem from a more philosophical perspective. There is now, however, a huge dataset firmly establishing the likelihood that wheat intolerance, or better yet, wheat toxicity, is a universal, human species-specific problem, occurring only in differing degrees, and mostly sub-clinically, at least through the optic of conventional screenings and technologies.

The author thinks that the wheat we eat now is "Franken-Wheat," that it has been messed with way more than GMO corn, and that 60 years ago it was a different plant.
Honestly looking at all the research he did, I could not make heads or tails out of it because I don't have a great scientific mind. But I decided I didn't have anything to lose to give it up for 3 weeks and see if it made any difference for me. In 3 DAYS I noticed a difference! I woke up clearer and with more energy - did my morning workout faster.
Now it is 3 months and later, 18 lbs gone and my "borderline" blood pressure is fine! So I am sticking with it, I also find that the cravings for bread, pasta, and sweets go away (even though I eat other starchy foods, like beans, brown rice, potatoes, etc. so not all my meals are "low carb."
What I think is, if you eat wheat and you don't have any of the chronic health issues that plague most Americans then keep up your diet, if it's working for you. But if you are struggling with weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, fatigue etc. then give it a try.
Actually, descriptions of the disease goes back centuries.
gained the attention of Western medicine when Francis Adams presented a translation of Aretaeus's work at the Sydenham Society in 1856.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_disease
whicih goes on to say that a "modern" understanding of the disease in our time was around 1954.
That's a bummer.
Ad hominem to the core! Woo hoo!
Yeah, keep posting quack misinformation. It's such a great service to others. 
People who say "This is good for everyone," are almost certainly wrong.
People who say "This is good for nobody," are almost certainly wrong.
There may be some people who are sensitive to wheat but don't realize it who would benefit from eliminating wheat from their diet. If they "give it a shot" they will benefit.
I just don't see any benefit in prejudging anyone. (Except Republicans and Fundamentalists, of course. )
What am I suppose to replace the bread with?
Besides veggies and fruit, all minimally processed beans, nuts, cheese, meat, fish, eggs. Lots of things to eat! If you like you can sub rice, potatoes and quinoa for the bread; although probably the smaller amount you make grains and starches, the better.

At one point it would have seemed weird to me to have an omelette without toast, but now I don't miss the toast.
Check out my salmon, asparagus and avocado salad!

If you are used to sandwiches, basically, eat the inside of the sandwich as a salad or deli plate for instance, instead of a turkey and cheese sandwich with mustard you have rolled up turkey and cheese with mustard dip, and always salad, salad, salad! I don't get bored of salad because I make such awesome salads, with different ingredients, and I don't cheat on the olive oil either!
