For me, the elimination of the toxic gliadins and the maintenance of the bread making quality of wheat is the most exciting,» Barro said.

Most modern testing focuses on only the alpha - gliadin (one of the twelve sub-fractions) and therefore leaves considerable room for error and false negative tests.

For this reason, I use Cyrex Lab in my clinic because they have a test that looks at the gliadin sub-fractions, which helps to minimize false negatives that can be found with the IgA and IgG anti-gliadin antibody testing.

Whenever the whole - wheat pasta or a 12 - grain sandwich you innocently eat for lunch reaches your intestines, something called tissue transglutaminase (tTG), which is an enzyme produced in your intestinal wall, breaks down the gluten into its building blocks, gliadin and glutenin.

Two of the substances found in wheat responsible for many of the associated cellular problems you face are gliadin and lectins.

Independent of the brain effects already discussed, gliadin peptides may travel through the blood stream and can stimulate opiate receptors in the brain, resulting in their being termed gliadorphins, accounting for temporary withdrawal symptoms!

I believe one of the most crucial aspects of the wheat conversation for people to understand is that the gliadin protein in wheat acts as an appetite - stimulant.

This is important because not all who are gluten intolerant test positive for alpha gliadin.

It showed that gliadin, which is a gluten protein can affect zonulin even in people without the gene for celiac.

As mentioned earlier, standard testing for gluten intolerance only tests for antibodies to one component of gluten, alpha gliadin.

This is problematic because if gluten is in fact destroying someone's health and he or she does not test positive for alpha gliadin but is in fact sensitive to the other components (for example Gluteomorphin), then that person who should avoid gluten, would be cleared to eat gluten containing foods.

The limitations of currently available conventional testing are very real as most physicians who do a «Celiac panel» are only testing for alpha gliadin, tissue transglutaminase 2, and endomesial antibody.

These foods contain the highest and best - studied levels of lectin, an anti-nutrient and partner in crime to gliadin peptides in wheat, barley, and rye, but present in many foods and most in grains, legumes, and dairy (and notably genetically modified foods designed to increase lectin content for pest control).

We routinely test for food sensitivities, general mineral status, toxic metal overload, digestive capability, steroid metabolites (for BHRT), gluten / gliadin sensitivity, and insulin resistance.

The company also specifically tests for gluten and gliadin to make sure they are gluten - free (under 20 ppm) of gluten.

Most tests only check for antibodies to alpha - gliadin (one single gluten peptide), and not everyone with a gluten sensitivity reacts to that particular gluten peptide.

These antibodies then wage a war of sorts with the gliadin present in your body by producing chemical messengers themselves, and one of the symptoms created for example can be inflammation, resulting in abdominal pain.

Chris, without arguing levels of toxicity, I single out wheat and HFCS for two reasons: 1) Modern Wheat contains proteins (gliadin, etc.) that stimulate appetite and wreak havoc on the intestinal system.

For people possessing the HLA - DQ2 or - DQ8 genes (90 - 95 % and 5 - 10 % of those with CD, respectively), avoiding gluten means less chance of gliadin fragments being bound tightly and starting telephone in the immune system.

However, because a damaged intestinal wall can not properly produce lactase enzymes, lactose intolerance often accompanies gluten intolerance — and people who can normally eat foods like cheese, yogurt or ice cream simply can not do it when gliadin is present in their diets, and this is why it is necessary to avoid milk products for several months after going «gluten free».
