Hi Celiacs,
Here is a reply to my diatribe: an excellent site!:

Go to 
<http://www.glutenreactivity.net/vojdaniDiagrams.htm>www.glutenreactivity.net/vojdaniDiagrams.htm
  and look at the Medical Diagrams.  They show leaky gut and 
how  food particles slip through the gut wall before they are 
supposed to.  They are too big and not broken down enough.  The body 
can mount several types of reactions to them including, in the case 
of gluten, celiac disease, gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity 
(the allergy).  Gluten is a bad one to be slipping through and 
reacting to.  As the gut gets leakier and leakier more stuff slips 
through including many other foods and the body continues to go 
further into multiple food intolerances/sensitivities.  There is also 
an audio diagram of Dr. Vojdani explaining the diagrams that is worth 
listening to several times.  It is "medical" but if you listen more 
than once it is not so technical that you can't "get" a large part of 
it.  What he says is important.

The gut wall needs to be healed as is plain from the diagrams.  Dr. 
Vojdani explained these to me in person and he emphasized very 
definitely to me that the TOXINS are a major problem in causing leaky 
gut.  (Also stress and infections.)  Some medications can 
cause/exacerbate the leaky gut but that falls under toxins.  Wrong 
fats like transfats and processed vegetable oils are also toxins and 
they mess with the integrity of the gut cell walls, contributing to 
leaky gut and multiple food sensitivities/intolerances.

also go to <http://www.westonaprice.org>www.westonaprice.org and read 
these articles
<http://westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/ancient_dietary_wisdom.html>http://westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/ancient_dietary_wisdom.html

<http://westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html>http://westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html 
(list of important articles on fats)
.
Healthy forms of saturated fats, stopping all toxins and getting the 
toxins out are key.

The Body Ecology Diet is a program that a lot of folks use to try to 
correct these issues and get folks guts healed.

I also know of another rather unusual and more extreme regime that 
has proved to be remarkably successful for many, in fact most people 
who try it.  If you want to know about it, let me know.

Bottom line, the party's over with processed foods and a lot of 
substances that our society has inundated itself in, believing these 
additives and preservatives, and etc. etc. to be harmless.  They are 
harmful and out guts can't take any more.  They can't digest real 
food any more.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Olive Kaiser
