Why Heirloom Tomatoes??

, Isabella Woodhouse wrote: Glucose Tolerance Test? Gluten, not glucose. TTG is "tissue transglutaminase"--- a screening test to check the seriousness of gluten sensitivity, if you've not had it. Health problems you have mentioned are often (but not always) correlated with celiac, especially when occurring in clusters. The extremely high risk of T-cell lymphoma makes it essential to know for sure (and that is why I even mention this at all). Most people with celiac-type gluten sensitivity are sensitive to all forms of gluten in wheat, barley and rye, and sometimes oats as well. However, the effects do not always manifest themselves consistently until an incredible amount of damage is done to both the digestive and immune systems in affected persons. Here is a brief article by Andrew Weil: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART02955/Celiac-Disease.html Isabella Ah! Thanks. ;-) No, I've not had that test and can probably not afford it at this time. Even with health insurance, I still can't afford elective health care. They only just started paying for my weekly Chiropractor visits this morning. It was a pleasant surprise to have a credit! I'll just avoid the wheat-type grains. They make me feel ill most of the time when I eat them, so what's the point? That 15 bean soup I made this past weekend did not agree with me either. :-( Sucks too. It was delicious. -- Peace!
