Industrial Uses Of Wheat

I was looking at past articles searching for something else, and came across this web link. Open Original Shared Link

It has a list from the Kansas Wheat commission about industrial uses for wheat. There were a lot of things on there that surprised me and made me worried about every day CC exposure. I know I won't eat any of these things, but I sure will be touching many of them. What do all of you think?

You can definitely make yourself crazy by analyzing stuff such as this and worrying about it. I could, anyway.

I don't know what to make of it, but it's pretty eye opening to say the least. However, you cannot live your life in fear or in a bubble... (although sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble :lol: )

I'll try to calm myself down. The plastic silverware, cups, and containers is freaking me out a bit. OK, it is all freaking me out. I'm glad plastics is going greener, just want to be safe in the process.

Some wallpaper paste contains wheat and I had a problem with that once. I was re-wallpapering a room and had an unexpected glutening. I did some checking and learned about wallpaper paste. It's probable that the wallpaper paste used for the wallpaper I stripped off the wall contained wheat. I breathed the dust and inadvertantly swallowed some of it.

It just goes to show that it's not just what you actually eat.

I vote for terraforming a planet and keeping it gluten-free. It could become the home world for all celiacs. :)

Most of those items don't worry me, but yuck, medical swabs? Is nothing sacred? :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.
