Studies have shown that many people who suffer from chronic back and neck pain have an intolerance to Gluten. You should consider going on a gluten-free diet if you are having constant back and neck problems.  If you don’t want to give up your favorite foods for too long, simply switch out the processed, gluten products for fresh meat, fruit, and veggies instead.
