I didn't even finish reading the article, it's just too gross... I've read about it before though. I really think that this is one of the reasons that ORGANIC food is SO popular.

They just opened a Super Walmart here; the kind with the grocery store in it. I went there last week and they had ORGANIC MILK. Organic Milk. In a WAL-MART. If that's not a sign of people running full speed away from this kind of stuff, I don't know what is.

You would think though that they'd leave the plants alone. It's really disconcerting when you have to read the labels to make sure your rice isn't part human.

Icky, Icky, Ooo, Blech, Blech, Pthppth.

if this kind of stuff goes mainstream organic won't help. it's cross-pollination of existing crops that's the issue here. and it's really scary.

I had never heard of such a thing before--thanks for the eye-opener!

I don't know whether to thank you for showing me this or not <_< . This is really scary stuff. Genetic mixing and drugging our food supply. Hmmmm, and Busch beer is the largest consumer of rice? Maybe they could find an alternative to the malt?

EWWWW!! Scary stuff. And (I'm telling my age) it's like life imitating art. Brought to mind two scifi flicks

Attack of the Pod People and Soylent Green.

Scary, scary, scary. And what's worse, I'm a Missourian.

Soylent Green is all but a household word here. My daughter has never forgotten that film and everytime she sees or hears something like this topic story - she just rolls her eyes and says "soylent green!" Claire

Yeah, there is a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff and talk that most people don't know about. Who would want to do research in this area? I certainly wouldn't. In my opinion, I think there are more important things to research, such as finding a cure for cancer.

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
