Health Issues

Seems the gluten intolerance has lowered my immune system and created havoc in my body. Parasites, bacteria and Candida are all having a party at my expense. I’ve been healthy all my life or so I thought, but now I realize I’ve had issues all my life due to my sensitivity to gluten. One little protein can create so much damage and so many people are not even aware of it. I’d love to be a spokesperson on the behalf of educating others on the signs and symptoms and encourage everyone to be tested.

    Hello Marlene,
    I am new to Twitter and your comment left for me today has been the only one that dealt with MY life issues. The others were vacuuous comments like those I left at first.
    I have had cancer and I am always dealing with digestive problems. Gluten comes from grain, correct? It is, in essence, flour. It is a carbohydrate not a protein. I am trying to understand how gluten can cause such a problem. If I had to eat only protein as in meat, I am afraid I would not be able to handle it. The colon cancer has left me guessing and making stabs in the dark about what to eat. I have to build up my blood. As low as I am in iron, I naturally have absolutely no energy. I am taking Vit B12 shots to support making more red blood cells.It is a slow process and I am not sure I am doing everything I need to do.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you, Marlene for your ideas and thoughts on good living. Martigo
