Meeting More people with Gluten Allergy

As time goes on now I'm meeting more people that are telling me about themselves, relatives or friends with Gluten Allergies ranging from Celiac's disease and being told about a child who could only eat bananas and rice without having major problems growing up but not being diagnosed with Celiac's disease until later as an adult to people like myself who might have had some problems with gluten always but it was made worse by having had Giardia from India and Nepal in 1985 and 1986 when my family (the 5 of us were there for 4 months). People who travel often get Giardia and 50 % of the time there are no symtoms if you are coming back to the U.S. quickly enough after 1 or more days in India, Nepal, Asia, Central or South America, Africa etc. Often in many of these countries where there isn't or wasn't plumbing much, feces gets into the dust in the air so even if you aren't exposed waterborne you can also get protazoa in the dust from the feces in the air blowing in the wind or thrown up by cars or people walking in these places.

Then the problem becomes defining what is going on in your body which if there are no Giardia symptoms which mirror in many ways the runs on a more severe level of cramping and uncontrollable diarrhea can morph over time when there are no symptoms to protazoa attacking the lining of your intestines (because they love the kind of sugars made by gluten the best) so your intestines cannot process gluten so you become allergic to it whether you were before or not. The other thing that happens in time is then your allergy to Gluten causes your immune system to attack your thyroid glands which will make you hypothyroid. So, the best way to stop your immune system attacking your thyroid glands is to stop eating gluten and take something like the Aryuvedic H-PLR which is an herbal remedy to rid yourself of Giardia and other parasites. So, as I meet more people I'm learning more what others are doing. I'm already using UDI Gluten Free bread that you can get from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods Market most places in the U.S. and other Health food Store outlets. In places like Portland, Oregon there are many gluten free restaurants now and likely the same for San Francisco and Los Angeles. Also, many restaurants have some gluten free items. What you want to look for is no wheat, no barley and no oats in any products you use or buy if you have problems with gluten when you find out that you feel incredibly better without any gluten. A gluten allergy once again means that you are allergic to the gluten in wheat, Barley and Oats. So, you have to eliminate anything in your diet that contains any of these things.

One way to check to see if you have an allergy to gluten is to stop eating anything with gluten in it and see if you feel much better. For me, 24 hours was like night and day. I went from feeling like I might die this year (10% chance in my mind) to feeling like I was going to live at least 20 or 30 years more. (And this was just 24 hours without any gluten in anything). So, if you aren't feeling well and especially if you have traveled a lot all over the world like me, you might want to give up gluten a few days to see if you feel better. So, even without 1000 dollars of blood tests I like got you might (just by the way you feel) diagnose yourself as allergic to gluten. I am experiencing about 50% to 75%  more stamina and strength and more mental clarity just by stopping all gluten consumption.

In gluten free bread they mix rice flour with tapioca flour to give it cohesion because it doesn't have the cohesion that wheat or barley or oat flour does. So, hopefully this is helpful to you and your families.

GMO (Genetically modified organisms or food modified genetically from corn and soybeans to Some Salmon now as well) Many people in addition to be allergic to gluten are also allergic to Genetically modified food and some die before they realize what killed them and others just eventually if they eat enough genetically modified foods just can't have children. So, this is a whole different but somewhat related problem as well. So, if you want to be able to have kids some day try to find out if what you are eating has genetically modified foods in it or not or you might not be able to have kids eventually.

Later: After I wrote this I talked with a friend of mine who is a musician who travels a lot to Japan, India and Nepal playing music and singing. What he said was to eat Cinnabar especially before and during any trips you make to India or Nepal especially. I don't know what Cinnabar is but what he said was it prevents problems with Giardia without harming your liver. So, I personally have never eaten Cinnabar so I can't vouch for it myself but he swears by it for keeping himself from getting Giardia over about 10 or 12 trips to India and Nepal since the mid 1980s when he met me and my family there and flew over from Switzerland where he was playing concerts then.  Here are some word buttons I found regarding this herbal medicine.
