(This link is in German, but if you click translate you get the info.

A recent Testbiotech survey shows that DNA fragments from transgenic plants are increasingly found in animal tissue such as milk, inner organs and muscles. Most recently, in April 2010, scientists from Italy reported DNA sequences stemming from genetically engineered soy in milk from goats. These DNA fragments are presumably, entering the blood stream from the gut and then from there reaching the udder and the milk.

Shroomie, that link is really weird. It takes me to some sort of login page and looks almost like a phishing attempt. Did you make a copy/paste mistake or could someone have hacked your account and put a weird link in the post???

You are so right - hotmail has hijacked the link - I have removed it and will try to find it some other way (I received the info in hotmail) - darned Bill Gates :o

(Edit: I worked around it)

I almost wish you hadn't fixed that link. That article is downright terrifying. If the genes get into pigs and goats they are getting into humans. I've already been buying more organic food.

I'd love to know how many senators Monsanto has bribed to keep GMO food legal in the US. Maybe I'll write mine on the off chance it helps.

yes- i actually read somewhere a couple of weeks ago- that GMO food can cause Horizontal Gene Transfer-

it sounds like we're in a SciFi experiment... you could eat somd GMO soy- and then some of your stomach cells could adopt GMO soy DNA into it's own cell- SCARY

i believe Modified Food Starch does the same thing.

No, it does not. The modification there is not genetic at all. In modifed food starch, the modification is the partial breakdown of the molecular structure. Nothing genetic is is added.

The link isn't working for me, I'm really interested in reading it.

*edit* nvm it worked! Thanks for sharing.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
