That cat drunk on beer?

[giggle] I love this forum -- don't you.

The CNN TV Interview LARRY KING LIVE was not the same article as the one in 2000 you linked above. I will find the interview and what was said and correct what was in·ter·pret·ed.

Very smart thinking great books.

Stay Well and God Bless!

Is this the interview you're talking about? Open Original Shared Link

It was aired June 16th of this year.

Correct me if that's not the one, but it certainly sounds like what you described.

KING: As long as you have the test, haven't we made great strides Dr. Weil in colon cancer, just do the colonoscopy regularly?

WEIL: Yeah that certainly is helpful and again colon cancer is one that looks as if there's a strong relationship to diet. It's another form of cancer which if caught early is completely curable. I think it's one that we'll make strides with. I think again here is an area where eating properly, eating an anti-inflammatory diet, taking anti-inflammatory herbs, low doses of aspirin, all these are strongly preventive, and that combined with the diagnostic tests should identify early colon cancer in most cases.

KING: Dr. Gupta, almost every subject we mention, diet gets mentioned. Does that surprise you?

GUPTA: No, it doesn't surprise me at all. There's a lot certainly about when it comes to cancer, some of the other things that we've been talking about, that we still haven't completely figured out with regards to the relationship with diet. But you know the turmeric, for example, with Alzheimer's or the high fiber diet with colon cancer, those things are starting to become increasingly well known, and hopefully become increasingly more recommended by doctors. You know doctors still a lot of times focus on the medications and the operations and less so on some of these preventative and easier quite frankly, methods of trying to prevent these things.

I guess I'm in·ter·pret·ing that differently.

The cat is sniffing the beer bottle, not drinking beer.

      Hi Florence, thank you for clarifying — and no worries at all about late-night writing. I appreciate you explaining that you’re specifically asking about gluten cross-reactivity, particularly the proposed immune cross-reaction between alpha-gliadin and certain non-gluten foods on a gluten-free diet. It’s an interesting and often confusing topic. The Vojdani & Tarash paper you mentioned did report antibody cross-reactivity in laboratory settings, which has led to a lot of discussion in the gluten-free community. However, it’s important to note that in-vitro antibody reactions (in a lab dish) don’t always translate into clinically meaningful reactions inside the human body. At this point, major celiac research centers generally conclude that true immune cross-reactivity to non-gluten foods in people with celiac disease hasn’t been clearly demonstrated in well-controlled human studies. That said, many individuals do report symptoms with foods like corn, dairy, oats, or others, and those reactions can absolutely be real — they just may involve different mechanisms, such as food intolerance, FODMAP sensitivity, separate immune responses, or individual gut permeability differences rather than molecular mimicry of gliadin specifically. If certain foods consistently trigger symptoms for you, keeping a structured food and symptom log and discussing it with a knowledgeable gastroenterologist or dietitian may help clarify patterns. It’s a nuanced area, and your question is thoughtful — we just have to separate what’s biologically plausible in theory from what’s been conclusively demonstrated in patients.

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with such intense burning pain right now. When symptoms get that overwhelming, it can feel unbearable and even trigger really dark thoughts, and that’s a sign of just how much you’ve been carrying — not a sign of weakness. It makes sense that you’d want to go back to a lower-carb, meat-and-vegetable approach if that’s helped reduce symptoms before; sometimes dialing things back to simple, whole foods can calm inflammation or gut irritation. At the same time, your safety and mental health matter just as much as the physical symptoms. If the suicidal thoughts are feeling strong or hard to control, please consider reaching out for immediate support — in the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest emergency room if you feel at risk. You don’t have to handle this alone. It may also be worth checking in with your doctor soon to review what’s changed and see if there are adjustments or treatments that could ease the burning pain more effectively. You deserve relief, and you deserve support while you figure this out.

      By the way, a few years back Nestle launched gluten-free DiGiorno pizza which also used Codex quality wheat starch, but due to backlash from the celiac community quickly reformulated and it is now wheat-free. Personally I think it's not a good direction to go, considering the many alternatives available now.

      I just want to mention that a colonoscopy would not be the test for celiac disease damage, was it an endoscopy? It is not unusual to do either or both tests as a long-term follow up, especially if you're having issues. I fully understand you not wanting to go through a gluten challenge, and would be curious why they would request that part of your follow up--perhaps they questioned your original diagnosis?

      Hi  Scott  Thank you for the feed-back. I fear I did not correctly state what I was 'attempting' to convey. So much for writing at 11:30 at night.  To be specific, I was concerned about Gluten Cross-Reactivity e.g. Cross- Reactivity between a-gliadin and non-gluten foods consumed on a GFDiet. The following comprises my reading so far on this subject:  (If you cannot find these let me know and I can send them to you via email.) "Good for You Gluten Free" article Titled "Understanding Gluten Cross- Reactivity & Gluten Cross- Reactive Food.  Their reference is "Food and Nutrition Science Vol 4#1 (2013).  Further, a scientific paper written by:  Aristo Vojdani & Aristo Tarash titled "Cross-Reactions between Gliadin and Different Food & Tissue Antigens". A very interesting paper.  As several of the non-gluten foods affect me, as I mentioned in my letter, I am wondering if it could be connected to this topic. I would be interested in your thoughts on this. The paper by the gentlemen listed above is particularly interesting.       All the best, Florence
