What is gluten?

I recently read an article that it may not be the gluten but the Round-up that is put on just before harvesting that is causing the problems. It makes sense that we are slowly being poisoned. The FDA approves many things for us that are unhealthy.

Tell that to the many science experts who are opposed to Monsanto's monopoly on seeds and the corporation's other manipulative attempts to force out all competitors by drowning them in litigation for patent infringement. Where is the federal government on enforcement of the American anti-trust laws to discourage monopoly? Strangely silent, and President Obama appointed the former vice president of Monsanto to head up the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is supposed to be a regulatory agency..The fox guarding the hen house..

Have you checked the ingredients (active and inactive) list on your meds, they contain gluten also, along with GMOs, (corn starch) and a plethora of other toxic additives? They wouldn't tell you if they interact with anything else your consuming because, the sicker you are/get, the more prescriptions they can load you up on to counteract your current meds, or symptoms! Monsanto, food industry, and the pharmaceutical companies determine what they want You to consume for their P&L margins. You're cattle for them to fatten up for the KILLING! They target your gut to weaken your immune system which they know you'll confide in your Doctor to keep you fully medicated until they get to tell you, "Chemotherapy is your only hope for survival! TheEnd! Have a nice day!? Ask your acupuncturist if there's any validity to this Fact. Just be prepared for the Rabbit Hole syndrome! Seriously, demand your pharmacist give you a Complete List of all the ingredients for Each and all medication you're prescribed. I'll bet they refuse or, make you jump through hoops to get that list. If you're a label reader, Gluten isn't the only problem you have, nor the biggest! Tip of the iceberg dear, Tip of the iceberg! What you don't know Will Kill You! Ignorance is not bliss, it's a symptom of Polypharmacy! AKA, brain fog!

Roundup put on wheat? Really? Not on my wheat farm.

Nancy Forrest it's not possible to put herbicide in DNA. They breed plants to have a resistance to the herbicide so they don't die when they spray the weeds

The pesticide is in the DNA of the plant because Monsanto and other food companies put it there to ward off pestilence. But what about human health? Big Food has been doing this since 2000, but without our knowledge and consent.

I had to avoid gluten for 7 years. It's in SO many processed foods. It's even the sticky on lick-n-stick envelopes and stamps. Every time I accidently had it (mostly while eating out), it would take a month for me to get back to "normal". Because I also have fibromyalgia, I was always super aware of when it was in my system because my pain medications would be non-effective for a month. Why? The gluten sticks to the insides of the intestines that long, and on top of that my intestines would be attacked by antihistamines and swell up, like many people would on the skin from a bee sting, limiting my body's ability to absorb medications, calories, nutrients. So each time, for a month, I'd be in pain, with no energy, my memory would suffer, just a month of misery. So glad my acupuncturist had a memory-cell-allergy-erasing-machine. To not have to read the label of every single food and beverage that came in a box, bag, bottle or can every single time I went shopping because manufacturers can change their recipes without notice. Ugh. Don't miss that either.

sportygraham, technically, it's not. Starch is a carb, technically a sugar. Gluten is a protein. Technically.

I think it's a GMO issue. Bread has been baked for hundred of years and it's only in very recent history people have developed gluten intolerance.

Lived with Celiac most of my life! It’s real!

Gluten is my enemy on so many levels!!!😫

Anne Harrington, I remember asking that some years ago. Thank you, Christine, James's wife

David Colloby, or Marketing hype.

Les Griffin, AGREED \

Phyllis Locke Byers, Glysophate (Round Up or Zero) is NOT used on wheat crops. Like the hype surrounding Gluten, the Round Up conspiracy is a media/Greens beat up.

Got it

I was diagnosed as having a gluten intolerance but my symptoms disappeared after I retired. My intolerance I think was due to a controlling oppressive atmosphere at work. There are many things in wheat rye and barley apart from gluten. If I were really allergic to gluten I would not be able to digest rye bread or sourdough whole grain wheat bread. I do need to restrict amount. I think quantity and context plus cooking techniques are underrated. Gluten free products which I used for ten years are inferior to traditional baked products. Too many ingredients. Structural integrity lacking. I know a few people with celiac disease and their response to gluten is very dramatic indeed.
