  IgA deficiency (IgA-D) has been associated with the HLA region, in particular with the North European haplotype HLA-A1, -B8, -DR3, but the exact location of the susceptibility gene(s) is unkno...

I'm going to quote her latest post, there's some relevant information for every theorist here:   Here is more information from the book “Food Allergies and Food Intolerances.†I have mainly p...

Here we go, some conventional medicine relevance; IgA deficiency is real and according to wikipedia (this is just a quick skim) it can affect 1 in 333:     Holy shit. Where is all the news...

Hey guys, sup? I haven't really been round here much because my diet is working well for me (well enough). I thought I'd share something with you though that I found on the talkpsoriasis boards. Cr...

Has anyone been following this other than me, who's had an intolerance to some of the foods listed here?

Hey guys just wanted to post my thanks for all the experiments you've put yourselves through to make this thread. The no wash regimen helps me a lot.   I wanted to say though that if after you'v...

Yeah, but is that darker bread whole wheat or rye? Big difference in WGA between the two, I think. White bread would be even less of a problem, other than insulin. Dairy would help in any case with...

I baked some bread today. Results were not great, but don't let my test discourage you; it wasn't really scientific at all. Test yourself. So I started a sourdough culture about a week ago, with a ...

Okay, this is what I've collected so far from various wiki links and other links. NANA, sialic acid, is found mostly from animal tissue, but also in certain plants and bacteria. It is mostly con...

Cool links, alternativista!   I'm finding fermented products are more tolerable. The grains I've tried are white bread flour wheat, spelt, white rice, and masa (maize). The most tolerable was w...

Hmm, this might help:     Dietary Sources of N-acetylneuraminic acid or sialic acid:   Whey protein isolate Hens’ egg

Okay acne_combat, here is something that could be explain why the Japanese can eat white rice.   Wheat Germ Agglutinin appears to bind to two sugars. We already know one; NAG, right? The other ...

ok, so if I understand correctly, the ONLY way to eat lectins-containing food without damage is to eat it with its specific binding sugar or fermenting it (like kefir instead of milk for example)? A...

Refried beans with lard. Huh, no shit.

But then I don't understand how sourdough bread is better than yeasted bread, specifically in the insulin index. If both yeast and bacteria contain NAG, shouldn't they both be effective in inhibiting...

Hey, great topic! But I'm a bit lost here... My question is: why do acne-patients lack those enzymes then? Is it hereditary or could it be because of external influences like mercury toxicity for exa...

Wow, so I just tested the spit-fermented rice and it reduced the effects tremendously.   It may have been a fluke, but this is high glycemic white rice that had been grounded down into a mush. E...

Here's an interesting statement about glucosamine: There are no major food sources of glucosamine, so people who want to take it must take supplements. Most supplements are made from chitin, the hard...

Linking to another thread that contains a lot of research on enzymes and probiotics breaking down proteins. And it's mostly about certain common lactobactilli strains along with enzymes in your saliv...

Mucin, like lectin, is a glycoprotein in the mucous lining of the intestines. When lectins travel through the intestines, they should have mucin to bind to, rather than intestinal cells. But if mucin ...

Here:     It's the leucine in the proteins. They speculated insulin has to have been secreted first for leucine to augment it. So, this study takes into account of whey protein and whey p...

This might explain some things. Shoot me if you've heard this one before.   So today I recently just tested sunflower seeds and concluded that they did cause irritation. Thing is though, I spro...

  Subjects included 14 diet-treated type 2 diabetics. They were served a high-glycemic index (GI) breakfast--white bread--and subsequent high-GI lunch--mashed potatoes with meatballs. The meals ...
