Question:

Why is there such a prevalent celiac issue these days? Was it just not diagnosed in generations past? Or has food and human tolerances to food or even our increased love for processed foods and sugars the cause?

— Deborah Von Cannon

Answer:

So this could be an entire seminar and it's something that I think about a lot the other day. I was reading that there are 99 diseases that weren't around 99 years ago because of the prevalence of processed foods and how sometimes food is grown. The other thing is that It's very it's not difficult but it takes a longer time for some reason in America for celiac related conditions to be diagnosed. I'm not a doctor but I read a lot about this. I just think that the way that our food is grown the way that it's packaged the way that it's preserved has a lot to do with it when you eat from the ground, you're not going to have these issues unless you're eating wheat, but nobody really eats wheat from the ground, but that's a great question and I hope that you find that helpful.
