I take it that you are a member of this forum because you are serious about your health. But how serious are you, really? Watch this movie. It has proved to be the single most eye-opening, informative and educational learning tool for me as far as what is safe for me to consume.

Check it out, you'll be glad you did. It's free to watch this week only:

P.S.

I'm 28 years old. I've spent the last two years of my life feeling like i total crap. Everyday, just completely run down, physically and mentally. I've spent the last 3 days of my life eating grain-free, GMO free, and purely organic. I've never felt so alive, energized and happy. The change was almost immediate.

Not just every American but every Canadian as well! I used to work for an organic certifying agency (and loved it and learned a LOT) so am very aware of the dreadful GMOs. However, this video held a sense of urgency and renewed my disgust in what we unquestioningly accept. It was also helpful to see the latest 2012 information. This video really could be lifechanging. Shame on Monsanto. :angry:

Thank you for sharing this. Highly fascinating.

I am with L2T on this. I was sick at my stomach watching this. A very well done film.

I have sent it on to a number of people.

For those of you who don't have time to watch the whole thing, believe me, if you did watch it you would definitely do everything you can to avoid GMO foods. During the last ten minutes of the film they mentioned this site: Open Original Shared Link

I just added it to my favorites bar.

BridgeOfSighs, I can't thank you enough! (Great screen name too by the way.)

Thanks for posting the web link Bartfull, I was going to try looking for that.

And Bridge thanks for posting the video. It's kind of long but definitely worth watching. I'll be looking for non-GMO next time I shop.

Thanks for posting. I already watched it. I hadn't understood before that one reason for the development of GMOs was to enable the use of massive amounts of round up. That might be more responsible for the problems than the genetic modifications.

It would be interesting to compare the numbers of people (and animals) with each of the different medical problems in Europe and in America. I'm not sure all of that info is available on the web, and I don't have time today to look these things up, but maybe on Monday I'll take a look.

It might well be the Roundup causing the problems, but I suspect it is a combination of both. I know that I was reacting to pesticides before my gut healed, and I imagine herbicides are just as bad. But because they not only modified these plants to withstand Roundup but they also inserted pesticide genes into them, I'm pretty sure we are all ingesting pesticide with each bite of GMO food we eat. It CAN'T be good for us!

I never knew anything about GMOs killing animals, or workers in South Africa getting sick/dying from eating the crop they feed their cattle, or new-found organisms created from it that are killing animals. Thank you for posting.

The scariest thing to me is that despite there being government controls to avoid us ever getting something toxic or harmful from into our food, that nevertheless they have not prevented it in the least. Theres reasons I never really gave a thought about GMOs being harmful.

I imagine some of those organisms they've found in animals that kill them can be found in people.

I just thought this might explain what I think might be a reaction to processed corn yet why the corn on the cob I eat is fine. I eat the local corn on the cob only. I eat whatever for processed corn. I will have to look into this further.

Wow, very eye-opening, and I've been getting their emails for a few months now. I was 20 minutes into it and paused it to email the link to my brother, wish I'd have watched it earlier in the week. As soon as my budget allows, I think I'll buy the dvd.

I watched this last night and I threw out all of my gluten free food which is GMO. I was horrified to learn about the history of the implementation of genetically modified food into our food chain.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
