Push-back Against Report Linking GMOs to Celiac Disease, Gluten Sensitivity

Celiac.com

In the first salvo, Celiac Disease Foundation CEO Marilyn Geller derided the report, published last week by the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), as merely "speculative." Then followed comments by leading plant geneticist, Dr. Wayne Parrott, ...

"For their part, the authors of the IRT report admit that there is no data to prove that GMO consumption causes gluten sensitivity. However, they try to hedge slightly by claiming that more and more research shows that GMO consumption may worsen celiac symptoms or lead to gluten sensitivity. Here again, they offer no good data to support their claims."

 

Pretty sure we all noted that "omission" a few weeks ago on here.....

I think the biggest problem with GMOs is that because these plants are immune to pesticides, they use more pesticides on them. It gets into the soil too, and we all know what happened to rice because of that. I even saw an article in the paper yesterday that said they are going to start using more of the chemical (not the dioxin) that was in agent orange because they are coming up with a new GMO seed for that. Who wants to eat something that has been drenched in these chemicals??!!!

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.
