Peanuts

I saw on the news last night where they are now growing peanuts that are safe for those that have an allergy to them. This is great news for them, but when are we going to get our equal time and get some wheat that is safe for us to eat. If they can do this with peanuts then WHY cant they do it with wheat? Just a thought........ Would be nice don't you think? :angry::(

That's interesting...how do they remove the allergic component?

I wonder what the allergic component is in peanuts? And if this will help those of us with more of an intolerance to them.

As for wheat, I'm not sure what the allergy component is, but if you're talking about removing the gluten, I don't think it's possible. If you took the protein gluten out of wheat, you'd pretty much just be left with the husk. And it certainly wouldn't have the same properties of wheat anymore - it would act like rice flour when you try to bake it. It would fall apart!

Allergies are the body's abnormal response to the proteins in different foods, but I have also read that peanuts have a very high mold content and some people who have a problem with peanuts are reacting to the mold.

But I can't imagine how they can remove the protein from peanuts or any other food for that matter.

Maybe it's a genetically modified, engineered peanut?

I would be interested in reading the article the op mentioned.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
