What it all does to us.......

When gluten is present in the intestine, these immune system cells react,
and cause inflammation. Inflammation makes blood cell walls - epithelial
tissue - become leaky so that plasma containing antibodies can get at the
invasion more easily, along with lymphocytes. Unfortunately, the
epithelial
wall of the intestine becomes leakier, too. It is a positive feedback
loop
with inflammation.


Lot of interesting information and links in your post. Thanks for taking
the time to put it together.

The Eades talk about this very subject in "The Protein Power Lifeplan" for
anyone interested. In fact, they devote an entire chapter to it. But you
did a great job describing the "leaky gut" phenomenon. It's definitely
"food for thought."

It is not drivel. Did you read it? It is telling of one of the dangers of
a type of carbs.

Despite the rancor, I'd like to award Special Bonus Points to two
posters in a row for correctly writing "drivel" instead of the
increasingly popular -- but meaningless -- "dribble."

Kudos to both combatants! Now, back to your slap fight.

Opinions vary on his theories, but he posits that wheat is bad for type O

It's an amazing coincidence, that foods which I'd decided on my own (by
trial and error) were not good for me, are avoids for my blood type.
Wheat/glutenous grains were among them.

I don't know that blood type has anything to do with it. I'm not an
O, and I've noticed my allergies have diminished dramatically since
starting low carb. Co-incidence? I doubt it. What have I cut out of
my out of my life almost completely? Wheat. Every time I have
significant amounts of wheat, my allergies flare up in spades. It's
the wheat, qed. But, curiously, I don't seem to react to wheat
gluten.

Me neither really. I just think it's coincidental, that the foods that
are supposed to be bad for me according to that book ARE bad for me.

That PLONK came from an idiot, disregard it. In fact he is such an idiot he
doesn't even know what a PLONK is. I found your post very interesting and
well written.

Ahem. One single solitary sole question only ever at all, I think!
So, if instant and gratuitous insults are to be the order of the day,
I'm prepared to join in. Here goes: never was a fake email addy

Ahem. Deb H's comments were directed at Sseaott, not at you.

Now if only we could get two posters in a row to say they are "losing"
weight rather than "loosing" it.
