Is it possible that IBS is a low-level autoimmune disease?

Everyone's diet here is different, but nearly all of us eat grains and this includes corn and rice.
Most grains have an indigestible protein called prolamine which can damage the intestinal wall and cause intestinal permeability, resulting in inflammation, gas, dysmotily, constipation and diarrhea. Gliadin is the prolamine in wheat, but other grains have their own prolamines as well: corn, zein; oats, avenin; rice, orzenin.; barley, hordein; rye, secalin.
This study suggests that inflammatory proteins in grains could affect everyone, not just those genetically predisposed to Celiac disease.

A lot of people here are on a gluten-free diet, however still eat refined flour, corn and rice as well as pseudo-grains like quinoa which are high in saponins.

Antibody testing isn't always conclusive, and there could be some overlap between conditions such as IBS, Leaky Gas, SIBO, Inflammatory Bowel Disease etc.
Maybe we weren't meant to eat grains. The tough outer coating containing prolamines, phytates, lectins and enzyme inhibitors were designed to protect the grain, not as nourishment for us.
This is why IBS is so hard to beat. We have to give up eating food we absolutely love. Try going completely grain-free for at least a few days. There's no reason to be hungry as you can eat whenever you like but grains contain opioid peptides that can make you feel hungry so be aware of this.
