Could glyphosate be the Cause of Celiacs?

What we argued in the paper is that glyphosate binds to the gluten. Gluten usually forms cross-mesh connections between different amino acids, and glyphosate would disrupt that because it would prevent the cross-mesh by binding to the gluten and causing the gluten to stay in the form that is known to be more allergenic. So we believe glyphosate causes the gluten to assume the form that is more allergenic. 

One thing we certainly see in Sri Lanka and in El Salvador is agriculture workers who are working in sugarcane fields that are sprayed with glyphosate right before the harvest just as wheat is: these workers are dying at a young age from kidney failure. And people with Celiac disease are at a high risk of kidney failure. And we can see how glyphosate would kill the kidney, because you get into an overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria that produces p-cresol, which is very toxic to the kidney.

Pinpointing Immune System Disturbances in Celiac Disease

Here is another example of "what came first chicken or the egg" Does gene alteration causing prevalence of celiac disease occur from eating too much wheat or is it hereditary? How about a little of both. I tend to believe it is more dietary consumption especially with the presumed genetic link with Type II Diabetes other immune system disorders.

The study also shows that there is substantial evidence to indicate a shared risk between the gene associated with celiac disease and many other common chronic immune mediated diseases. Previously Professor van Heel had identified an overlap between celiac disease and type 1 diabetes risk regions, as well as celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Modern man eats grains, Paleolithic man did not. Western cultures have the lion share of celiac disease most likely because they eat excessive amounts of processed foods. Add in the "fat is bad" scenario and it's a wonder the whole Continent isn't Dis-eased!
Of the 3 MacroNutrients-Protein, Fat, and Carbs-the body can make Carbs from the other two macros. Carbohydrates have limited storage space, the other two obviously do not. Ergo, don't eat so many carbs and you will feel better.
No additional research necessary.
