Gee, makes me wonder why one of the tests for gluten sensitivity is anti-gliadin IgA antibody? I mean, since this guy is an expert and all... <sarc>“This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there’s a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It’s not gluten. I’m not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I’m talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year.”

Wow! What an Idiot — a perfect example of a little education being a bad thing. 
You know, one of the things that puzzle me about all of those guys who suddenly discover that wheat has changed drastically over the years (as if everything else hasn't changed at all), is the observation that if ancient wheat was so great, why don't they buy some land and start growing those ancient varieties again, and get rich while saving humanity? After all, seeds such as emmer wheat (which grew about 20,000 years ago), einkorn, (from about 10,000 years ago), hourani, (grown 2,000 years ago), all the way down to dozens of different varieties that were grown a century or 2 ago, are all available for planting.
Why don't they make use of their brilliant knowledge by putting their money where their mouth is, to revolutionize agriculture by showing us how easy it is to produce enough "safe", "healthy" wheat to feed the world? If they did that, the masses wouldn't have to continue eating all these corrupt modern crops that are destroying our health.
Thanks for the link, and a good laugh.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I actually think it's a decent article. He even mentions the problem of lectins.
Below the radar of conventional serological testing for antibodies against the various gluten proteins and genetic testing for disease susceptibility, the WGA “lectin problem” remains almost entirely obscured. Lectins, though found in all grains, seeds, legumes, dairy and our beloved nightshades: the tomato and potato, are rarely discussed in connection with health or illness, even when their presence in our diet may greatly reduce both the quality and length of our lives. Yet health experts dismiss the links between disease and wheat despite all the evidence.

Zizzle,
The article itself may not be too bad, but how are we supposed to give it any credence when the author's star expert witness pulls a stupid stunt such as claiming that gliadin is a "new" discovery, and "It’s not gluten." The hell it isn't — it's a major component of gluten, and the alpha gliadin peptide is the primary peptide that celiacs react to. That's an absolutely idiotic claim for anyone to make, let alone a doctor.
If the author is going to write an article about a scientific or medical issue, she should take it upon herself to verify that such claims don't conflict with common (medical or scientific) knowledge. That's a basic part of the responsibility of writing such articles. I feel sorry for her. She just happened to pick a nitwit as a reference.
