I think low thyroid function is the cause of the various food intolerances.
Haha, yeh, I actually agree with that to a certain degree, although I think it's a bit of a vicious circle, like a catch 22 sometimes. You have to ask what causes the thyroid dysfunction in the first place. I don't believe it's genetic, and the body is so perfectly able to revive, regenerate, and rejuvenate itself that I don't think it just suddenly starts misbehaving for no reason. It's either going to be EMFs, crappy foods that we have not properly evolved to tolerate (like grains), or some other toxin like PCBs, heavy metals, fluoride (particularly bad for the thyroid), etc....something external entering our system. Possibly it's a case of all of the above. With any of that crap in your body, the thyroid and other parts of the system are going to have a hard time performing.
I do think, in the case of gluten, there is a lot of evidence to suggest it's the genetic modification of wheat that has brought on this modern day pandemic of gluten intolerance. Having said that though, I also cannot tolerate spelt, which is an ancient grain....or maybe it's been GM'd as well.
