I heard about this recently somewhere, but can't recall where....interesting b/c it makes you question what it means to be human when our bodies are made up of organisms that are not our own. Anyone ever heard of the selfish gene idea (Dawkins)? Kind of brings that to mind too - that we are just vessicles operating under the influence of genes........... I post these not to start an argument, but like Claire, to consider interesting ideas.....

Wow! Really interesting!! Thanks for putting that up :)

I just bought a bottle with "guaranteed" 35 billion CFU's (organisms - bacteria). I'm taking two at a time twice a day. I wonder if it will even make a dent :rolleyes:

I wish my gut bugs were the kind that would be *beneficial* :angry:

Thanks for posting! :)

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Mynx · Posted

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Mynx · Posted

      Many people will tell you that distilled vinegar is gluten free. The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process. Most people don't react to distilled vinegar. However, there is a very small group who are 100% gluten intolerant. I'm in thos group. Unless I make homemade ketchup using apple cider vinegar. The rest of the ingredients are gluten free. I have to research every ingredient on a label that I don't already know is gluten free. It's not easy but health wise, it's worth it.

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's possible, as there are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:    Also, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Perhaps you could bring you own? Not sure, but worth a try.

      Confused with test results

      I received my ANA test results - negative.  I'm thinking it was infection, was put on antibiotics for suspected sibo at the time blood test was taken. Significant improvements from taking them even while eating gluten.
