I don't think we have posted this here yet. Probably will show up after I post this. :)

Seems like the innate immune response is showing up more in research about celiac these days. I've seen it mentioned in regards to Crohn's disease also. Seems like the Crohn's info was something to the affect of a granulatomous (sp) like immune reaction. I am not sure if they are saying that GMO's are causing this innate response or not? Well, it's interesting the research is coming up with new info on NCGI now. It took long enough for that to happen. Thanks Karen, I'll try to read the article when I have more brain power. Maybe next year. Ooops, it's already next year! Dang!

That's why I asked for people's thoughts! :0

Interesting, thanks. It looks like it is going to take a long time to get this all figured out.

So the wheat "looks" at us as big munching bugs. Or my stomach looks at wheat as bio- bug repellant. Or I have a lot in common with insects that eat grains. I could be descended from grasshoppers. Or insects could be becoming more like us, as we keep changing plants to resist insects, the insects benefit from our accidentally making the plants less compatible with our biology, so the insects can win another round.

Or something like that. :ph34r:

:o:ph34r:

Until now, many lectins from different origins such as Allium sativum agglutinin (ASA), Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Urtica dioica agglutinin (UDA) Phytohemagglutinin ( PHA), a lectin from the red kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., Pisum sativum lectin (PSL), ConA, XCL and GNA have been isolated and partially characterized for their effects on insect pests, but among them some of encoding insecticidal lectins such as GNA, ConA, WGA and PSA have been shown greater potential for expression into a variety of crops including wheat, tobacco, sugarcane, rice and potatoes as resistant factors against some of important insect pests....

Sure, whattheheck, just put WGA in to rice, who cares.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they (GMO special interests) aren't out to get you. :wacko:

I just wish that these researchers would consider the effects on HUMANS of these substances, instead of the effects on plants and pests. :ph34r:

Nice. Love when ideas for reading just pop up here. Will read this one too -- after the wine or manana.

Some more info (speculation?) on lectins in wheat causing problems.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By Grahamsnaturalworld · Posted

      Ok, thanks for the advice, the only advice I've had that's made sense after 21years since my slight symptoms all my life turned into nasty symptoms 21 yrs ago and around 50 gp's and specialists all chasing the symptoms and not looking for the cause, after 9 years of misery I discovered my symptoms matched celiac disease and a blood test proved anti bodies to gliadin but it was too late it has changed into r.c.d. thanks again.

      Welcome to the forum, @QueenBorg! Just for the sake of clarification, your desire to avoid gluten is connected only with your dx of fibromyalgia and not celiac disease, correct?

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      Thanks for the reply. I’ll call Colace to be sure.  I was just wondering if anyone had already gone through this:) I have not seen any gluten-free labeling on the package but I know that doesn’t mean it’s not gluten-free. The labeling is more of a comfort thing for me.  Do you think I need to worry about cross contamination if they say no gluten ingredients?  I’m so strict with being gluten-free but realize many manufacturers may have cya statements and the products are safe   Will look into Phillips as well. The surgeon recommended Colace and to add MiraLAX if needed so I actually need to get both as he says one of the worst things is to get constipated post surgery.

      Thanks for the information. I will definitely be doing a lot more investigating in the future!

      symptomatic ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Living or working in environments where gluten exposure is a constant risk can be incredibly challenging, especially when neurological symptoms are involved. For those with celiac disease or severe gluten-related disorders, airborne gluten (like flour dust in kitchens or shared workspaces) can trigger indirect exposure through inhalation or cross-contact, though true celiac reactions typically require ingestion. However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy can sometimes cause airborne-triggered respiratory or neurological symptoms (e.g., headaches, brain fog, or even seizure-like episodes in rare cases). Your focal seizure could stem from chronic inflammation, vagus nerve irritation, or neuroglial activation if accidental ingestion occurred—but it’s also worth exploring PTSD-related responses if anxiety around exposure is severe. Many with celiac report delayed neurological symptoms (hours to days later), making it hard to pinpoint triggers. Since your family isn’t gluten-free, shared kitchens may pose risks (e.g., crumbs, toaster use, or cookware residue). Suggestions: Workplace Safety: If airborne flour was a factor, request accommodations (e.g., ventilation, PPE) under disability protections—though proving causality is tough. Medical Follow-Up: Push for neurological testing (EEG, MRI) to rule out other causes, and consider a gluten-free household trial to see if symptoms improve. It’s unfair you were let go without clearer answers. Keep documenting symptoms and exposures.
