Gluten enteropathy occurs because the immune system gets the idea that gluten is bad and attacks it using IgA and IgG antibodies. The lining of the small intestine suffers major collateral damage during the assault. As you find out in Chapter 3, the small intestine is the absorption site for vitamins and minerals. When it is damaged, malabsorption and malnutrition are the results. This disease is more common than people think. Researchers consider it one of the most common lifelong genetic diseases in the West.
That tension causes muscle cramping and can easily escalate into an episode of IBS. Treating IBS Just as there is no one cause of IBS, there is no one treatment. Instead, you have a smorgasbord to choose from: medications, herbs, homeopathy, diet, exercise, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, biofeedback, the Emotional Freedom Technique — the list goes on.

There are fungi on our toes, viruses in our nose, and about 100 trillion bacteria and yeast in between.
