I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago. Previously had no autoimmune issues or allergies. I can eat non gluten fiber just fine. My endoscopy/ biopsy showed damage. Im now very sensitive to trace amounts and have pretty bad symptoms if glutened.
Ive read.about various theories that roundup used in genetically engineered crops has something to do with it.
Anyone have any theories?
However, almost all of the wheat eaten today is high-yield dwarf wheat, which was developed by cross-breeding and crude genetic manipulation around the year 1960.
Dwarf wheat has shorter stems and a much greater yield. Therefore it is much, much cheaper than the older varieties and more economically feasible.

Gluten is actually not a single protein, it is a family of different proteins and only some of them are recognized by the immune system of celiac patients.
One of the gluten proteins that seems to be problematic is called Glia-α9. One study found that the amount of this protein is significantly higher in modern wheat (13).
..........
BOTTOM LINE:
Modern wheat contains more of the problematic glutens and there are some studies showing that older wheat varieties don't cause a reaction in celiac patients.

Yes I have heard about glyphosate, increased pesticides, and genetic engineering as causes.
The third theory I heard (the only one not mentioned yet by a previous poster) is that changes in the way bread is baked are related to the increase in celiac and gluten intolerance.

Find the doco "What's with Wheat". They give some great scientific information about how the gut becomes compromised from intake of glyphosate and it's effect in the body. The celiac/gluten-sensitivity is the reaction to the compromise.

We are what we eat... plain and simple.
I know it's off subject, but vaccines being used to the extent we see are altering generational RNA/DNA restructuring to additionally cause internal molecular confusion to what our ancestors experienced.

But the rate of celiac disease was far lower then. Surely it's possible there are natural celiacs, and induced ones, hence the rise of cases, and people developing it later in life.
Dna vaccines are out there.

I believe we are being injured by the very food we eat. I canf afford to buy organic non gmo. I have kids to feed.

What I am saying is, that it seems stupid to ignore the increase of digestive/neurological disorders in humans, and cling to what humans are doing to ourselves unnaturally in these times to not have a direct affect on what we see as an increase in disorders.
I see obesity to be nothing more than humans living out the genes that were passed to them. Yes, a majority of people that are overweight, are overweight 1st and foremost because their ancestors did not process the same kind of high carbohydrate diet that is currently consumed... the current dieting choices of a mere secondary consequence at best.
For people to think that these kind of correlations don't stretch into the vaccine sector is a premature and poor thought process and decision making if I am left to be judge of it all. I see flu vaccines as a way to suppress the future human immune system
Sorry, but discussing DNA influence of diet and vaccines is like trying to discuss trigonometry with a 6 year old from my standpoint.
