I'm still trying to find some sort of studies or references about a link between lyme and gluten. If anybody has any links they would be appreciated.

Do you have any links to published research along these lines? Thanks!

How about an update Healthwarrior. I have celiac disease and my father has been diagnosed with lyme disease. I try all the time to convince him that he should go gluten free for a few months but he is entirely convinced he has lyme and not celiac and won't do it. Best I could get him to do was three days.

Most commercial corn chips are not gluten free. Tostitos has nailed me before and when I called up to ask about their chips they let me know in no uncertain terms their chips contain gluten. I also wanted to add that my corn grinder and I are getting along very nicely. I've become a big fan of polenta.

FYI... I suspect that Trader Joe's gluten free pasta is re-branded Tinkyadas. It looks, tastes, and cooks exactly the same but the Trader Joe's brand is $1.99 for 16oz and the packaged Tinkyada I find in the grocery stores is $3.69 for 12oz.

I tolerate corn very well after my gut has healed. After I posted this I hunted down a feed store and bought some Amish hand picked corn on the cob that is sold as squirrel feed. I shelled it myself, ground it and made some excellent polenta. Not dead yet. My beef with all these small organic farms is that they probably use the same stone for grinding...

I'm trying to find a good source of clean food grade field corn. I've bought a Corona corn grinder off of ebay and I'm using it to make my own ground / cracked corn meal and flour. It's a pretty good workout but that seems to be the only way I can be positive there is no cross contamination. Anybody know of a good source? I've been buying squirrel corn...
