Incomplete digestion of gluten and casein may result in the production
of exorphin (exogenous opiate - like) polypeptides that have the capacity to cause or potentiate adverse neurological symptoms.
Dr Davis also notes: «It might be due to the lack
of exorphins, reduction of the insulin - glucose cycle that triggers hunger, or some other factor, but elimination of wheat reduces daily calorie intake by 350 to 400 calories — with no further restrictions on calories, fats, carbohydrates, or portion sizes.
Not exact matches
The molecules produced during gluten digestion include
exorphins, which have also been found in the spinal fluid
of people with schizophrenia and autism, and are thought to worsen the symptoms
of these neurological diseases.
The new research reveals that two
of these molecules — called
exorphins A5 and C5 — are released during digestion
of real bread and pasta, and that they can survive digestion and pass through an in vitro model
of the intestinal lining.
The gliadin protein in wheat exerts this effect on the human brain because it is degraded to a group
of compounds called
exorphins, or exogenous morphine - like compounds; these effects that can be blocked with administration
of opiate - blocking drugs.
The gliadin
of wheat is converted to
exorphins, morphine - like compounds that can be blocked with opiate - blocking drugs.
When wheat is digested in the body, certain compounds known as gluten
exorphins (sometimes called gluteomorphins) are produced; interestingly, dairy products under certain conditions can also lead to the production
of similar compounds known as casein
exorphins.
The DDP - IV activity present in the protease / peptidase provides for complete digestion
of proline - rich proteins and efficient breakdown
of dietary
exorphins.
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP - IV) activity supports optimal cleaving
of casein and gluten and their
exorphin peptides (casomorphin and gluteomorphin)
These polypeptides have been labeled
exorphins (exogenous morphine - like compounds) by National Institutes
of Health researchers.
Allergies vs. sensitivities vs. intolerances; gluten, dairy, and soy, lectins in grains, wheat proteins and
exorphins, wheat germ agglutinin, zonulin, celiac and non-celiac gluten intolerance, autoimmune cross reactivity, symptoms and conditions
of gluten intolerance, elimination diets / rotation diets are investigated in depth.
