I saw this this morning--

As Archie Bunker once said--It's like putting lace on a bowling ball <_<:D

since the protein in wheat is what is so damaging to celiacs----it makes me wonder how many more people will become celiacs if this process works and they create wheat with MORE protein. maybe half of the world is just barely tolerating the protein already there----increasing it could push them all over the edge.

Yes, but if the protein is modified it may not be toxic anymore to celiacs. Did you read the research article some forum contributor linked the other day that outlined a recent invitro study done with an heirloom (before hybridization) variety of wheat? It didn't produce the antibody production characteristic of celiac disease. It suggested that some old, native varieties may be safe. Perhaps the hybridization of modern wheat stocks with wild wheat may produce a nontoxic variety.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I just wonder if it would end up being the same as oats. I think the big problem with oats is that during the process they almost always get contaminated so we can't eat them even if they themselves wouldn't be a problem. If we could eat the new wheat I'm sure it would be a long time until all the old wheat was gone. I would think the two would be mixed together and it would be hard to find pure, new wheat that wasn't contaminated by the old wheat, especially if one kind was cheaper than the other.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
