Quote from: The Member Formerly Known As Sophist on August 11, 2008, 09:48:07 AMAny sort of food intolerance, like gluten intolerance, will trigger inflammation in the GI tract and will reduce nutrient absorption. The amount of inflammation and hence the severity of malabsorption will depend on how severe the reaction is. It will also likely cause symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, etc.So, Peter, you could also be gluten intolerant, especially if you do better on no-carb diets.I would say mild versions of gluten intolerance are much more common than is thought. I think, as a protein, gluten has never been too kind on the human intestinal tract. And it really hasn't been in our diets for very long; only since we started farming.It really is like glue.Stick to rice, more protein.

She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

It doesn't naturally contain gluten, but processed oats are often contaminated with wheat, since they're usually harvested and processed together. I use Scottish oats, since wheat cultivation is less common here and the oats are said to have less contamination.
