Thanks Rosemary, this is great!
I'm interested that celiac symptoms are not apparently within the
homeopathic picture of wheat. I suppose this situation would be
analogous to (as Hahnemann describes) that "good advice" (I forget what
phrase he used) will cause aggravation in someone with mental /
emotional disease--the fault is not in the words / substance, but in
the person's inability to "metabolize" them / it.

Can you say a bit about why you find calc-p so closely connected?
In case where you give the cell salt along with the more indicated
remedy, what do you find it adds?
Thanks!

But also I think wheat is sort of a "new kid on the block" as far as
humanity's diet. There's a tendency for us to tolerate foods that our
ancestors made heavy use of. Anyone know what part(s) of the world
wheat is / was originally native to?

Yes, thank you! So not no "new kid" it seems... Tho I notice that
"modern wheat" (no date given) is considered something different from
the earliest forms of wheat. Maybe this is what the reference I
remembered was referring to, rather than wheat as a family? More
similar to the reference you read, tho I don't think that trouble with
wheat is *very* new--my own problems with it go back some 50 years!

I do know that "many" people who cannot tolerate today's "regular"
wheat, can handle the older forms fine--kamut and spelt being the ones
I'm familiar with (and which I can handle fine, tho I don't tolerate
"modern" wheat).
Thanks again,
Shannon

D'Adamo notes that type O blood type often has trouble with wheat,
also what he calls "non-secretors" have the most difficulty
- complex explanation around
this and celiac disease in his lesser-known but vastly more
comprehensive work that gives scientific basis for his theories.
Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia by Peter D'Adamo. See pg 38+ for
explanation of "non-secretor", and pg 223+ for celiac disease,
pg 24 for world regions and historical blood type concentrations
(origins?).

My impression thought with the "non-secretors" is a form of
life-force repression/suppression/inhibition. Could be a remedy
clue.

D'Adamo mentions the plant Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) which is
being used to genetically alter foods, also binds alpha-D-mannose,
is another to consider for homeopathic prep and use.

He mentions celiac PTs are predisposed to lymphoma. Carcinosin
then comes to mind. Suggests to me a need for resveratrol
in the diet - half a glass of concord grape juice undiluted daily
will supply this. I've held that resveratrol is very important
as cancer preventive and part of any treatment.

I"m not sure about "native" or not.
BUt India is a great consumer of both rice and wheat.
Wheat is more commonly used in NOther India (Temperate Climate) as it
is "heaty". (ROtis, parathas, nan, bread)
Rice is more commonly used in SOuth India (Tropical Climate) because
it is "Cooling".
The middle belt of India uses both in equal quantities in their diet.

But depending on the season, both are consumed in large quantities
sometimes even without vegetables, etc which may be too expensive.
