I need something clarified on leaky gut, which is a gluten intolerance
problem, but not a celiac problem.
 
The theory is that in a gluten intolerant individual, the intestinal wall
is more permeable & therefore allows "more efficient" absorption of what
we've indiscriminately eaten into the capillaries/bloodstream.
 
My question is, does that extend to fats?
 
"True" celiacs have a problem with fat absorption, due to the atrophy of
the intestinal wall...& I'm guessing that your cholestoral levels stay at
a normal or below normal level.
 
I am biopsied proven celiac, but not real reactive...and before I wised
up and went dairy free, I was eating a lot of cheese.  My cholesteral
level was 240.
 
Being one of the "apples", having a high cho reading, & strongly
suspecting that I am gluten intolerant (having migraines & other
associated problems in the family), I wonder if there's a connection
between gluten intolerance, the leaky gut syndrome & the apple shape.
 
I welcome your discussion.
