This is just a quick blog, so I'm not going to go into details about all the issues I've had with food. I'll just say that currently I'm moderately sensitive to gluten, extremely sensitive to dairy and sugar, partially sensitive to eggs and yeast, and, when I cut all of those out, most food STILL makes me feel ill.
I've been searching for the answer. I discovered there's an ailment called leaky-gut or intestinal permeability. Basically the intestinal wall leaks, and food gets absorbed before it's broken down all the way. The body responds with antibodies, and the person effected develops allergies to those foods. I've never seen a doctor for my problems, but I was sure I had this.
Recently, a friend recommended this film. Ryan and I watched it together. We were sceptical about some of their dramatic connections in the earlier part of the film. For example, blaming the "autism epidemic" on GMO foods. Scientists are sure that autism existed before the diagnoses, it was just referred to by other, derogatory terms. In recent years we've become more sensitive with detecting it. That being said, there seems to be link between GMO's and autism (as well as other problems). I think that people with autism may be especially susceptible to GMO foods.
As the film progressed, they offered more and more convincing, scientific evidence against GMO's. They gave a list of the current foods that have been genetically modified. They include soy, corn, cottonseed oil, canola oil, sugar beets, papaya, zucchini, yellow crookneck squash, and alfalfa hay.
I strongly recommend that you watch it, especially if you're like me and have problems with health and/or food. Enjoy!
