Celiac disease: Before the 1950s and the identification of wheat gluten as the culprit in celiac disease, the thinking was that people with celiac disease could not properly absorb carbohydrates and/or fat. A doctor by the name of sidney haas in new york city was successfully treating pediatric patients using what came to be known as the “banana diet” which restricted other carbohydrates and fat.
