WHEAT is sounding more and more like something to AVOID

3) WHEAT GLIADIN HAS PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Gliadin can be broken down into various amino acid lengths or peptides. Gliadorphin is a 7 amino acid long peptide: Tyr-Pro-Gln-Pro-Gln-Pro-Phe which forms when the gastrointestinal system is compromised. When digestive enzymes are insufficient to break gliadorphin down into 2-3 amino acid lengths and a compromised intestinal wall allows for the leakage of the entire 7 amino acid long fragment into the blood, glaidorphin can pass through to the brain through circumventricular organs and activate opioid receptors resulting in disrupted brain function.

Good reading here. Thanks. I diagnose clinical Sprue all the time. And a lot of people have positive serologies but normal duodenums. The disease is a continuum. Not sure wheat is bad for everyone though.

Just like not all can drink milk, eat peanuts and such.

Coming from an MD who seems to me to have actually earned the title, this is the advice I'll take. Thank you. I love wheat and believe, as other have said, different people react differently to different foods. If it hasn't ever bothered you it probably won't if you keep eating it.

I have tried cutting all wheat products of any sort from my diet and noticed no difference in my physical or mental state. When I found out they are spraying the wheat crop with Roundup (glyphosate) prior to harvest, I started buying 100% organic flour and now that is all we eat as for as wheat goes. My wife makes bread and I eat the shit out of it. Actually it is very fattening so I do try to keep it in reason.

I researched and it turns out they are spraying other crops before harvest, beans, who knows what else. When the plants are desiccated they are easier to harvest and release more grain.
