stomach allergies :: Article Creator Researchers Find Intestinal Immune Cell Prevents Food Allergies Most of the time, the intestinal immune system can recognize friend from foe, tolerating myriad foods while destroying disease-causing invaders. But for approximately 30 million Americans with food allergies -- including 4 million children -- immune cells mistakenly identify food as a threat, triggering potentially life-threatening reactions. Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified, in mice, that essential immune cells in the intestine prevent an unwarranted attack against harmless food allergens. In the absence of such cells, mice experienced gut inflammation and an allergic response to food. Their research was published online April 3 in Cell and will appear in print May 15.

bread intolerance :: Article Creator Is Bread Bad For You? by Dan Lepard, in association with nutritionist Azmina Govindji Bread has been a staple of our diet since ancient times. Primitive people baked flat breads 12,000 years ago by mixing flour and water and baking them in the sun. The Egyptians are thought to have discovered how to make risen bread with a starter made from wild yeast. Today, bread is sometimes demonised as a carbohydrate source that makes people fat, and it is often the first thing thrown out by dieters. Some argue that industrial bread production means too many preservatives, additives and salt, making it unhealthy. But bread can be a good source of both carbohydrates and whole grains that are needed in a balanced diet. Different breads have different properties. Instead of avoiding bread, knowing what is in each slice and watching how much of it you eat each day is usually the healthier course. A tale of two loaves...

Guidelines on how to use them for anal sex are given below. While female condoms (internal condoms) were originally designed for use in vaginal intercourse, some gay and heterosexual couples have used them for anal sex.
