I don't know but would immediately assume it's the same thing which is poisoning and injuring most people's GI tract these days - glyphosate. The majority of which is loaded on all of the most common cereals.
I assume they eat a lot of cereals (bread, crackers, corn (gmo), cereal, oatmeal, etc.) and regional suppliers are primarily buying from farmers who illegally use glyphosate to ripen their crops for easy harvest.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
It's a great post and thanks for bringing it up
Glyphosate is in the hydrologic cycle. When it rains, it rains glyphosate. You make an interesting point ; people with gut issues are often told to "eat more fiber". Eat more fiber drenched in chemicals- glyphosate being one of them and it makes them even more ill.
Funny how that works.
Nailed it. There are some great articles that really drive this home.
Glyphosate is RoundUP!, it doesn't help ripen the crop for easy harvest. It gives weeds cancer, and that's why the weeds die.
it doesn't help ripen the crop for easy harvest.
You misunderstand. It is a weed killer, ideally used on GMO crops. It is, however, also used off-label to ripen crops. The product has a specific half life which is supposed to cause the product to be low level and inert by the time the crop goes to harvest. However, farmers have learned it will accelerate crop ripening, allowing them to better control when they harvest. The result is high levels of glyphosate from fresh application immediately prior to harvest (a week or two) now contaminates most cereal crops.
This is why this is happening: https://ceh.org/glyphosate-herbicide-found-popular-cereals/
It's also why so many people falsely believe they have celiac disease. It's not gluten causing the problem. It's glyphosate poisoning. Incompetent doctors are certainly not helping. Regardless, people avoiding cereals, thinking it's avoiding gluten, is why they are finding relief (reducing toxic levels in their GI tract).
It's 100% true farmers use it on beans to dry them out. If you want to be sure your beans don't have glyphosate, use these ones https://healthytraditions.com/collections/dried-beans
Wow. Thanks for sharing this info. I would have never connected this info myself.

Yep... my wife thought she had gluten problems, but she's able to eat the bread I buy, which notably doesn't use glyphosate on their wheat for faster drying.
