In my original post on this thread I talked about a test the U of M did with old blood samples from 50 years ago. The percentage of the blood that tested positive for wheat problems was much less than a similar group of blood samples from today. True, people do make more of their health concerns now a days but I believe (and this thread was about what we think about gluten) that there really were way less gastro problems over the last few hundred years than in the last 50. When people ate more naturally and worked with their hands they were so much healthier. I'm just glad we have the nice indoor plumbing and soft toilet paper for our increased gastro issues now!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
