Research proves wheat can cause harm to everyone's intestines
Celiac Wheat Disease Gliadin  It is a common myth that wheat
only causes immune-mediated intestinal damage within those with
a rare genetically based aberration called celiac disease. Still
relatively unknown research from 2007 clearly demonstrated that
everyone's body likely experiences adverse intestinal effects
from gluten (gliadin) exposure.  As far as celiac disease, the
specific mechanisms by which wheat causes damage are well-known,
and they go like this...  In celiac disease, an alcohol-soluble
wheat storage protein known as gliadin is partially degraded
(i.e. deamidated) by the enzyme tissue transglutaminase, the
effect of which is to activate susceptible host T-cells to
mistakenly identify and attack intestinal villi as if they were
'foreign' invaders. This highly destructive autoimmune process
can be verified through blood tests, or through the so-called
"gold standard" of an intestinal biopsy that clearly reveals
destroyed villi and/or
