Many experience very real symptoms and naturally assume gluten is to blame. But according to research, in the vast majority of cases, gluten isn’t the culprit.
I agree with you- gluten intolerance is likely caused by glyphosate. Having been diagnosed with IBS decades ago, I can confirm IBS is not caused by gluten. I cured/ control my IBS with a daily good-quality probiotic and I have no issues with gluten.
I do have IBS but if I eat gluten products I get cardiac symptoms, palpitations, angina from arterial spasm and ectopic beats. I've ended up in the ER many times from it. Mine started after a liver transplant bc the anti rejection drug Tacrolimus cause sensitivities and allergies. I have since learnt the cardiac symptoms are from glyphosate, which makes sense, I can't come into contact with perfume, petrol or any cleaning products and chemical sprays bc of cardiac symptoms. It has progressively gotten worse. I suspect it will take me out eventually.
I almost bought gluten free bread yesterday until I read the label and it contained sunflower oil- seed oils are toxic so I wish everyone would look at ingredients before purchasing- As First Lady Nancy once said ‘Just Say No’
The problem is lectins, of which gluten is only one. The Plant Paradox by Dr. Gundry explains it all. When I stopped eating all grains, to eliminate lectins, my life changed. My microbiome and metabolism became so balanced that I lost all cravings, had perfect elimination, could eat as much as I wanted (which was never that much as my metabolism was just right. amy weight for the last 6 years has stayed plus or minus 2 pounds without any effort at all. It's what your body wants.
Sorry, 7 out of eight people who have a gluten sensitivity have zero gut symptoms. It can literally manifest anywhere. But you won't recognize it as a gluten issue because you've been told that causes gut pain.
Wheat is sprayed with glyphosate before harvest as a desiccant. Eating this toxic wheat starts a deadly cycle. The glyphosate initially causes mild gluten intolerance that can often be reversed. The widely accepted (yet ineffective) solution to this gluten intolerance is to dietarily replace this toxic wheat with corn (that ironically is even more toxic, especially the GMO type). Problem however is that almost ALL corn products have HUGE amounts of glyphosate, which then reinforces this perpetual circle of death. Eventually it is nearly impossible to detox and the victim will perpetually decline likely developing ever more serious and varied chronic illnesses. Glyphosate is also linked to severe IBS. It destroys vital biome.
Completely removing glyphosate from our food production industry would have the same effect on gluten intolerance (and more importantly autism) as the effect removing DDT had on polio.
I'm not sure which component of wheat is inflammatory. Kamut, a trademarked version of khorasan wheat, grown only in soils that are high in selenium, are not inflammatory, as compared to other common wheats that are inflammatory, based on Italian research.
Then why do Functional Medicine doctors tell all their patients to avoid gluten? Also is there a connection of gluten to the brain because Alzheimers patients are told to avoid it?
I have a friend who said she couldn’t tolerate gluten. Then she started milling her own organic grains and making sourdough. Says she feels the best she has in a long time has even quit some of the supplements she was taking.
This article appears to imply that gluten is a type of carbohydrate called fructan, which is not true. This makes me wonder about the veracity of the rest of the article.
I’ve often wondered if the gluten from hybrid wheat is the problem. I used to mill a white wheat variety called Golden 86. The kernels were so fat, and this wheat made fluffier bread. I can only assume that it was bred to have a higher gluten content. It would be interesting to see if the heirloom wheat causes digestive problems compared with the hybrid varieties.
In the Italian research that identified Kamut as being non-inflammatory, there was also an heirloom Italian variety that was non-inflammatory. It would take a ton of research to identify other non-inflammatory varieties and to determine the cause of inflammation.
Dee has nailed it, however details matter. Gluten content is many fold due to hybridization selecting for increases. As many correctly point out Glyphosate is a toxin poison to all, heavily sprayed on non organic grains. Mechanism of action is primarily as a
chelating agent binding essestial minerals, killing weeds. When a crop is cut, it is used heavily to dessicate (dry) the grain...

This issue reminds me very much of the ME/CFS saga: the only people who don’t believe NCGS is real are the researchers and dietitians who don’t listen to patients and are irrelevantly trying to isolate it as “a distinct entity”.
They disparage anyone self-diagnosing (desoite there being no diagnostic test) and, as with ME/CFS raise the possibility that it is all psycholigical.
I think it’s the glyphosate. For me this is a big trigger, would also explain the studies results, as oats and other grains are also high.
Once I started baking my own bread with glysophate free flour...many things changed.
I agree with you- gluten intolerance is likely caused by glyphosate. Having been diagnosed with IBS decades ago, I can confirm IBS is not caused by gluten. I cured/ control my IBS with a daily good-quality probiotic and I have no issues with gluten.
Immuno Labs in Lauderdale performs food allergy testing from Serum.
They then compare reactivity to "normal" values.
Asked them several times if the sample used as normal is organic or conventionally
grown (glyphosate) That question caused short circuits

over the target!!!
Hear ya, all bread should be "sourdough" ....Period
That has nothing to do with gluten content or glyphosate contamination...
Potatoes are high in glyphosate too
non organic anything very likely to be contaminated
Soil Association allows use of Glyphosate in post production of Organic potatoes as a drying agent.
Huh? Organic Certification specifies that NO glyphosate can be present.
Soil Association ?? Have no idea what an Association has to do with
organic certification.
The Soil Association is the "independent" UK regulator of organic certification. Glyphosate residues are now ubiquitous anyway...
I believe MTHFR plays a huge roll in this as well... From folic-acid building up in the system.

So... is it the gluten or the contamination or both???

Two of the four authors of this paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0140673625015338
have received research funding from outside sources.
Conflict of Interest (COI) declarations indicate that two have received money from food companies. Who is this paper trying to lead, and where?
Yaklt may be leading people to lactic acid bacteria, while the Dutch company may be leading people to wheat products.
and the conclusion? Studies and typically Pay to Play, has never been different
Knowledge about health leads the way as always...
Sorry to say but gluten is a real issue, it's inflammatory and not natural human food.
Sorry, you are simply wrong. Would be interesting to know how you defined natural...
Gluten is not inherently inflammatory...
I'm not sure which component of wheat is inflammatory. Kamut, a trademarked version of khorasan wheat, grown only in soils that are high in selenium, are not inflammatory, as compared to other common wheats that are inflammatory, based on Italian research.
Then why do Functional Medicine doctors tell all their patients to avoid gluten? Also is there a connection of gluten to the brain because Alzheimers patients are told to avoid it?
Because they do not comprehend the fullness of the issue.
Avoidance strategies are warranted... question remains what exactly are "patients"
avoiding???
I have a friend who said she couldn’t tolerate gluten. Then she started milling her own organic grains and making sourdough. Says she feels the best she has in a long time has even quit some of the supplements she was taking.
There are several books on this. Amazon - Brain Gut Connection, Grain Brain, etc.
I’ve read some of them but is gluten really the problem or is it something else in the grain like glyphosate?

Fat wheat indicates it has more endosperm and is higher in carbohydrates, not in proteins such as glutens.
In the Italian research that identified Kamut as being non-inflammatory, there was also an heirloom Italian variety that was non-inflammatory. It would take a ton of research to identify other non-inflammatory varieties and to determine the cause of inflammation.

Knowledge about health is cumuative.
I have no doubt that glyphosate causes problems. If I were “gluten intolerant,” I would try baking with organic heirloom wheat flour and see how I do.
Edit: I’ve read that Einkorn flour is good.

Blame it on psychology... again. Ugh. A leaky gut leaks crud into the bloodstream, gluten or not, especially when exposed to the GMO/glyphosate food chain. See unblindmymind.org, https://www.organic-systems.org/journal/92/abstracts/Swanson-et-al.html and https://nourishinghope.com/
