Hi all,
Isn't amazing how far reaching the effects of gluten are? I only wish this knowledge was available 50 years ago---it could have benefitted our parents or grandparents. In my family there's a family history of diabetes, alzheimer's/dementia,bowel cancer, ataxia, learning disabilities/ADHD and classic childhood celiac. I think they are all related to gluten. (And too, I wish some brilliant scientist could research as to why it seems to hit most frequently in people of northern European descent. With my family tree it is English, German, and northern French.) Why is there supposedly far less gluten intolerance in mediterranean countries, for instance???? all that pasta and crusty bread....
