Hi Mr Fish
Thanks for that
Re Gluten
I "caught" this a few years back out of the blue, no family history and the experts told me they had never heard of anyone my age just getting it
Why it is now so prevalent, I have been told that it is rare but one of about four people I ask have someone in their friends or family who do suffer from it
But it is not so much of a problem in France where they use a lot of native wheat and they also prove their bread overnight. Native wheat has about four ears of wheat on each stem
In the USA they prove their bread in a very short time like we do in Australia
I presume that their bread shops are even shorter
Their wheat ( mostly GM) have ten to twelve ears on each stalk
So the presumption is that it is the chemically charged wheat that has caused the outbreak
Many people that I know have also found that a gluten free diet is very beneficial to their health, alleviates many gut problems and disturbances
As for me I spent about nine months in hospital, two weeks in a coma, lost half my body weight and had to be resuscitated twice in that time, so not a good thing to experience
Naturally all food containing gluten is banned from my house and I have a zero tolerance stance in force
All my friends are aware of my diet and when I go somewhere for a meal they will either do it all GF or will prepare for me the things I can safely eat
