My wife has celiac disease, which is basically a gluten allergy. Her grandfather had sprue, which was renamed to celiac more commonly[1].
As much as I hate anecdotal evidence, I personally do feel significantly better on a day to day basis when I eliminate the most hefty forms of gluten (bread, for instance). Could have absolutely nothing to do with it, but it seems to hold even when I eat gluten free substitutes. Again, an anecdote, but look into celiac for more solid research on the subject.
