It would actually be very fortunate if all my research was wrong, because I would love for everyone in my family to be able to eat wheat without symptoms, simply by avoiding glyphosate. That's never worked in the past, not for any of us, even before they started allowing it to slip under the radar in USDA "organic" food. You would be surprised by how many people think they have gluten allergies but don't actually. There are many other things that we put in our food here that they don't in Italy, which also cause GI problems.
And BTW, RA is just the symptom. A raised level of tumor necrosis factor is not a disease, anymore than a raised level of antibodies. What I'm talking about is systemic inflammation, whether it's from celiac disease or GI or what we are calling "RA".
When we drank wine in Italy I had no headache the next day, so I can definitely get behind the sulfites causing hangovers argument.
I have been Dx'd by a doctor with RA over a decade ago. I followed the change in diet, no issues. No drugs. That's not what 23 says I have.
You're describing a genetic issue like the one I'm tired of explaining. If everyone in your family reacts the same... What do you all have that's the same? Genes.
Relax; I've delved much deeper than genomics (hence proteomics), and I'm not retarded. I'm trying to help.
Genes, yes. But none of us (an many others) had the issues for our whole lives. Take, for example, ankylosing spondylitis - 2% of the population has the gene, but only .8% of that cohort experiences symptoms, and it usually presents in the absence of beneficial bodily flora (hence antibiotics). The primary culprit in this disease is an immune response to a specific genera of bacteria, which is usually non-colonizing bacteria... except in the presence of cheaply available energy (sugary diet) and a lack of other bacteria to prevent it from reaching problematic population numbers.
I didn't say you were 100% wrong. I'm simply not buying that your entire family took antibiotics to the point you're describing. Familoes do have allergies run in the family, genetically.
Well, I should correct my [clears throat] slight exaggeration (I have a really small family so not too much of an exaggeration): it's actually just 3 with gluten issues. And I also should state that you are absolutely right, in that genetics play a key role. Just like in the case of ankylosing spondylitis, though, most people are capable of the kinds of genetic expressions that can lead to the worst kinds of diseases, given the right environmental conditions. And yet most people don't experience these diseases.
So my family has a strong immune response to some form of microbe that, given a large quantity or colonization, leads to antibodies that coincidentally target proteins that are similar to gluten. The important thing to note is, given such a genetic disposition, and given that pretty much everybody undergoes multiple treatments of antibiotics for one thing or another throughout the early life, we find ourselves ridding our body of its natural biome, which then gets replaced by cheap welfare bacteria that will happily move in to fill the sugar pile; then the result is that we have a society of people riddled with almost exclusively inflammatory diseases of one kind or another. This is why most of the drugs advertised today are immuno suppressants, not because suddenly our immune system's are so much stronger and we need to suppress them, because our moon systems are reacting to all kinds of microbes that are in our body only because our bodies have been devoid of their inherent biomes.
This connection to the biome is also the reason why people who experience these kinds of problems, whether it's gluten intolerance, RA, etc., experience less symptoms in certain environmental conditions, such as cutting sugar and carbs completely out. Cut out the sugar and you cut out the welfare bacteria, your body get closer to a symbiotic relationship with his biome, and you find yourself experiencing less systemic inflammation, whether that's because the antibodies that would attack the proteins are fewer and number or the amount of bad cells that have to be killed by TNF is reduced, etc.
Thanks for engaging in this conversation btw; I love talking about this stuff with people, and hardly anybody finds it interesting at all, even if they have some of these diseases. In fact the person who has this problem that's unrelated to gluten, specifically, but very much related to all of this, is also very much does interested in doing anything naturopathic to attempt to remedy the problem.

Btw I don't know who is following you and downvoting you, but I've upvoted each of your replies.
