Heartburn
Coming soon! In the meantime, please see the Appetizer for IBS.
Note: Most of the over-the-counter antacids are antihistamines. Could most heartburn simply be an “allergic reaction” (immune reaction) to the foods we eat? Why wouldn’t the stomach be the main organ to tell us that we have eaten something wrong?
My heartburn of years duration disappeared the week I eliminated wheat from my diet. It returned when I started eating more dairy, which I quickly dropped when I realized that all of my celiac symptoms were returning because of my dairy (casein) intolerance. But nothing upset my intestinal tract as bad as the soy I started eating to replace the dairy products. Even after 10 years of elimination, soy still gives me heartburn and IBS symptoms. Corn is not nearly as bad but I can feel my energy level drop shortly after eating it…and my colon still complains 24-28 hours later. Our lower intestine does not like food that is not completely digested upstream ( e.g. corn, peanuts).
But the initial warning is often heartburn (acid reflux). This should no longer be a surprise.

These are little tidbits of knowledge I’ve discovered or insights I’ve gained over the years while doing my in-depth studies.For example, did you know researchers have found that nearly 40% of the genetic information in our DNA is viral information? This explains what we call “genetic diseases” including familial and breed tendencies toward food intolerance (e.g. celiac disease), neurological disorders (e.g. epilepsy), and numerous cancers.

Yes, the Pogo quote of yesteryear found in the title of this article is quite accurate when applied to our medical lives. We love to discuss those things that we call “causes” of diseases even though we often have little clue as to how these things really cause illness. Even medical professionals can have difficulty grasping the true cause-and-effect. But that is understandable once some insight is gained into the true nature of medical training.

In this section, I will be placing links to the latest breaking news in the food world, including updates on the use of elimination diets to control disease, articles on pet food, the truth about GMO foods and more. I will do my best to balance the bad with the good, but try to remember: Much of this will seem like bad news but at least we know about it now…and can change it!
With some of these stories, I will include a link to a blog entry so that you can comment on the article. This idea came to me after reading the first entry, which is a news flash that made my blood boil.
