my stomach's been growling for years. Eliminated bread? still growling. stopped carbs a little less noise.
anyway current thinking is that everyone is intolerant to wheat. Some are showing minor symptoms... drowsiness after eating or minor discomfort to acid reflux and cramps. (original wheat "einkorn" does not cause reaction in known gluten intolerants) The wheat strains we use do though.
good news - ITALIANS eat a lot of pasta and do not suffer as much as us Anglos. Why? because they down it with Wine and Vinegar dressing in salads.
WINE and VINEGAR(apple best) dissolve the gluten off the villi in the small intestines. vitamin d3 and omega 3 oil(seeds nuts) helps repair the damage.
