Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®? Their website is not gig.net. Maybe it was at one point? I am new to all of this, but did find their website here: https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1 -

@Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten. Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8. Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification. Maize...

Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus? Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis. dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service. I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease. Whatever keeps me alive in this world. -

By Scott Adams · Posted
I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.
