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.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      You should be fine. You may start feeling better within a few days. Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours. Did you get the NeuroMag or another magnesium supplement?

      Yes Bobs redmill cgf oatmeal I started when I became gluten-free. So taking all 3 with breakfast should work? Will I notice any reactions getting used to these or should I be fine. Thanks

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Hello, @pilber309, welcome to the forum! Are you currently consuming dairy? You mentioned something about lots of yogurt and cheese, but did you cut it out or are you eating lots of it? Could you clarify please? Some people with Celiac react to casein, the protein in dairy the same as to gluten with antibodies and villi damage.
