<\/a>fields of wheat ... pretty but painful for some<\/p><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had a panel of guests this wonderful wheat free morning. They\u00a0all had fascinating and informative stories about gluten and how it has graced their lives with lessons and learning’s,\u00a0which is what disease can do if you look at it positively and discover more about\u00a0the incredibly unique and gorgeous body you live in.<\/p>\n
Perhaps you already know about gluten inside out or perhaps by listening or reading this\u00a0you could learn a thing or two\u00a0from belly, after all this is community radio, deliciously diverse, full of facts, fun and free spirited conversation.<\/p>\n
What you choose to do with what you hear or read\u00a0is entirely up to you because only you can know what’s best for you. We are just here chewing the unsaturated fats and stiring up a pot of bubbling belly broadcasting.<\/p>\n
We started with a track from Xavier Rudd and maybe he’s singing about gluten in this track because it’s called FREEEEEEEEEE … all other tracks came from the Bomba vs Laroz album which i highly recommend.<\/p>\n
A little lowdown on Coeliac Disease may help you to understand the basics of someone that has to live with this mostly reversable condition. This person could be YOU.<\/p>\n
Coeliac\u00a0Disease is a hereditary disorder\u00a0which looks to be on the increase and thought to currently affect around 1 in 150 people. Still so many people live with the symptoms and are unaware they have to suffer\u00a0this way. Those with the condition are sensitive to a part of protein found in wheat called gluten but more specifically GLIADIN which is the protein part of the wheat. It also includes some other grains\u00a0that between them\u00a0cause an immune response which damages and changes\u00a0intestinal villi (vil-eye)\u00a0 leading to malabsorbtion of nutrients from food amongst other things.<\/p>\n
The walls of your intestines are covered with\u00a0this villi which\u00a0sort of\u00a0resemble\u00a0fingerlike\u00a0structures,\u00a0naturally flowing\u00a0upright from the\u00a0walls of the intestine. They are meant to allow the absorption of the nutrients we need to survive\u00a0in between their villi structures.<\/p>\n
