Gluten Issues & Parasites

GLUTEN DEFINED

11/11/2017

3 Comments

 
GLUTEN literally is Latin for “glue.”

 glu·ten (noun):
1. a substance present in cereal grains, especially wheat, that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough. A mixture of two proteins, it causes illness in people with celiac disease (from Oxford Dictionaries web result).

From WikiPedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten):
Gluten is a composite of storage proteins termed prolamins and glutelins and stored together with starch in the endosperm (which nourishes the embryonic plant during germination) of various grass-related grains. It is found in wheat, barley, rye, oat, related species and hybrids (such as spelt, khorasan, emmer, einkorn, triticale, Kamut, etc.).

glu·ten (glo͞ot′n) n.
1. The mixture of proteins, including gliadins and glutelins, found in wheat grains, which are not soluble in water and which give wheat dough its elastic texture.
2. Any of the prolamins found in cereal grains, especially the prolamins in wheat, rye, barley, and possibly oats, that cause digestive disorders such as celiac disease (from American Heritage Dictionary.)

Ah, yes! I feel I have found a kindred analytical intuitive soul who has discovered what I have discovered as well. Gluten is not the cause that many think it is of intestinal and system health issues. It has been painted in this black/white way as all evil it seems by some doctors, but I knew that had to be wrong. How can a food that has been eaten for centuries (and in Biblical times) be evil and be something we absolutely cannot/should not eat? Something in that logic seemed wrong. And why is it someone could eat find before but then couldn't after some time? Gluten sensitivity has lots of gray areas here. There are even studies that link lack of parasites to autoimmune Gut issues.

Certainly not the case for me and for yourself as well as for many other I think - the opposite in face. Yes, I see the link most definitely between leaky gut and gluten, but underneath - the parasite infection - namely, as you mentioned, the holes these helminth parasites poke in your small intestines. I am going through my own parasite infection healing crisis issue and like you, eliminated so many foods the past 4-5 years, but ended up frustrated as it didn't really heal the issue. The doctors were as well. No one mentioned or even considered parasites.

I discovered I had them on my own after dealing with ever increasing symptoms last summer July 2010 with some very obvious symptoms. Still, it seems many don't believe it when you say you have them unless you have a positive stool test which is difficult for me and others to come by. Doctors (and many alternative too) treat you as delusional and think you have an anxiety head problem.

Funny thing is, parasites directly influence your mood and cause many ups/downs and are directly tied to personality disorders, depression and anxiety (I've done lots of research on this myself and other research relating to nutrients/helminths).

Thank you for the comment! You are so right ... the symptoms of parasites and fungal infections are the same as so many "diseases". Good point on connection between psychological disorders and parasites. I will check out your website. Be well!

     Overcame gluten intolerance and what was called likely Celiac disease by overcoming a tapeworm infection.
