    Types of Monoclonal Antibody sources: a) Murine: These are made from mouse proteins and the names of the treatments end in -omab. b) Chimeric: These proteins are a combination of part mouse and part human and the names of the treatments end in -ximab. c) Humanized: These are made from small parts of mouse proteins attached to human proteins and the names...

    That depends. When a tissue is biopsied it is held by a "pincer" and withdrawn from the scope. If there is a "washing" then the fluid is aspirated along with any material (fluid or solid material) into a suction trap. That collection could lead to false diagnostic results. HIV, Hepatitis B&C and MRSA are dangerous blood borne pathogens. Cancer...

    First of all, I met a woman who develops "Dermatitis herpetiformis" if she so much as touches gluten. She is vigilant with her make-up products to assure that they are not gluten containing. I read a research paper on a new hybridization process to reduce the number of celiac disease epitomes in the plant. The statement is that celiac disease is becoming...

    Five years ago the FDA mandated manufacturers to redesign scopes for this very reason. I refused to undergo EGD for this very reason, waiting patiently for invention of single-use scopes. Now its time for the physicians & hospitals & OP clinics to make the necessary purchase. Although the out-of-pocket expense will likely increase, it will be well...

    Today is a "better" time for celiac disease patients. Dentists were simply not in tune with the potential damage. Over the decades what proceeded was: lost enamel, cracked teeth, broken teeth requiring extraction. My mouth became a "mess" after acquiring celiac disease.

    Ooh, something new to try. Thanks.

    Amazing! Frightening! Alarming! Good reasoning for going "grain-free". Even alcohol is made from grain. Might that also be affected? If I could stop eating all together, I would. There is "zero" enjoyment in food. It has become an unfortunate necessity.

    Good New: chicory root contains up to 40% inulin, which is a zero on the glycemic index. Insulin is broken down in the stomach & it helps with the rich starch/flour that is high glucose indexed. It is a stabilizer. Sunflower & rapeseed oil: oils not listed as x-virgin typically contain toxic residues from chemicals that were used to extract the oil...

    "Fermented" might be the key: Psyllium husk contains only the epidermis of the seed, while the actual seed has a higher amount of "fermentable" fiber. As an example of this, I only tolerate "rock" hard cheese (those fermented for 6+ months). The fermentation process makes food(s) more digestible. Shar's is thus far the ONLY bread tolerated & that seems...

    Rum? It's just too sweet. I prefer vodka with "Blue Ice" being the smoothest & solely potato based. This is a good article however.

    Interesting, as I too have a response to both psyllium husk and oatmeal. Too much roughage for a "tender" gut. Doing okay with Shar's rolls, probably because it contains psyllium seed. Many wheat substitutes e.g. millet and quinoa "cause" inflammation and are irritating to the GI system. Fruit fiber has a better chance of being tolerated by the masses...

    Better response: This is an informative and much needed article. This research may lead to improvements in gut health. I was reviewing an article on gene therapy which focused on the genetic modification of cells to produce a therapeutic effect for the treatment of disease by repairing or reconstructing defective genetic material. Gene proliferation...

    Scientists obliterated the well tolerated 5 foot tall amber wheat grain. This brought about the need to alter human genomes. Hybridization began with a mission statement: "feed the world". Now that the population is 45% gluten sensitive, I wonder what the new mission statement should be? How will it change when 75% of the populace becomes gluten sensitive...

    😂Correctly stated...just look at the number of chemicals alone. Disodium Phosphate causes major league diarrhea as does cellulose gums. Your emoji is a perfect statement in and of itself.
  15. Distressed
    Everything on the list is understandable since the foods listed contain gluten or lectin with the exception of sorghum. The latest report read did indicate that sorghum contains high levels of glycosate. I do not tolerate millet or quinoa for reasons unknown at this time. I tried processed meats containing sodium phosphates and suffered hours of diarrhea...

    That's sounds good. It would have been helpful if the information that is now forthcoming concerning food & supplement ingredients had been readily available 12 years ago. I wish you well Auldtwa.

    Malabsorption is typically due to ineffective enzymatic digestion or too fast a passage of foods through the intestine. Watch your blood calcium levels. Prolonged low calcium caused a parathyroid adenoma to develop. In 2009 my vitamins and supplements were full of wheat so the condition only worsened until surgery became necessary.

    See: Gluten & Cross Contamination (glutenfreesociety.org). I visited my sister 2 years ago without any problems. Last year during my visit, I was glued to the toilet for 3 days. I was extremely cautious and cooked all the meals. She does not have a dishwasher so who knows where the gluten originated. Despite good intentions the plan will likely fail...

    That was fun. Good feedback is a cause for retrospection. It is a mystery and as such many pour over the scriptures to find reasoning behind the many and numerous laws & regulations. 🧐

    The worst lectin offenders: All legumes especially red kidney beans & tomatoes. It's a long list, but I understand how enticing these "bad" foods are. When I cook chicken stew, it is with whole cream (natural without any additives, gums, preservatives). I take a calcium supplement 2/2 my surgery. Calcium, magnesium, iron can be blocked by agglutin...

    Yep! Cross-contamination is my #1 bummer. The safest place to eat is at a local "senior community center" restaurant. The chef has awesome dishes and dares not to receive a complaint from the elderly. They can be brutal. 😁

    Suggest deleting all lectin containing foods. And dairy products can contain toxin carrageenan. Cassin and whey also lead to digestive issues for me. Be careful of dairy products.

    FYI: It took me 12 weeks to stop "craving" wheat.

    Foul smelling stool is caused by inadequate digestion of food. Foods ingested are expelled too fast due to gut irritation. Agglutinin found in wheat, barley, rye is a lectin. It is indigestible by humans and toxic to gut lining. Blocks cholecystokinase that is needed for the release of enzymes by the gallbladder and pancreas. It acts like insulin causing...

    And yet, our wheat is nothing like it was 2000 years ago or even 50 years ago. It has been dramatically altered through hybridization. Some scientist report on experiments to mutate the wheat embryo itself so as to make the plant glycosate resistant. Check out Deuteronomy 22:9 "you shall not" statement to see how God forbade the mixing plant seed (modern...
