Wheat flour, beans and food grade diatomaceous earth

There's a problem that I encounter sometimes. I seem to be intolerant of raw grains (including dry flour, whether or not it has been heated in pan frying); raw grains also seem to worsen the intolerance. I also seem to be slightly intolerant of beans (but I eat them anyway). I make great efforts to avoid eating raw grains, but sometimes it would damage relations with people if I strictly refused to eat them (especially when they think they're already cooked; they have to be cooked enough—not just cooked). So, sometimes I have food to eat that has traces of dry flour, if not a lot of dry flour, on it, or else the food isn't cooked enough (whether or not it's cooked enough to taste fine).

So, today, on Monday, I discovered that food grade diatomaceous earth seems to curb this intolerance of the flour particles and beans (for me). I added some to beans that I had with the floured, fried, whole wheat dish. I felt great afterward (no intolerance symptoms).

Anyway, I don't think my intolerances are autoimmune issues (like allergies, Celiac disease, etc.) I think they're enzyme issues (it should be noted that mercury and lead can block enzymes that are needed to digest wheat gluten and milk casein, and food grade diatomaceous earth is said to chelate heavy metals and remove them from the body, which would in theory increase those enzymes and improve digestion).

I should note that I've known for years that food grade diatomaceous earth helps me digest cooked grains better (as well as raw vegetables, milk, sugar, nuts, etc.), but I didn't realize the benefit with raw whole wheat flour and beans (my bean intolerance is hardly noticeable, but it's there—and beans don't give me gas particularly; so, it's not the usual intolerance symptoms). I should also note that I don't have to take food grade diatomaceous earth very often when I'm on a low-rice diet in order to eat cooked wheat products. Rice is known to absorb mercury and other toxins from the soil; so, if it's grown in soil where it's high, it can contain more mercury than high-mercury fish. A lot of the rice out there is probably fine, though, and while I've had issues with some rice, I haven't had issues with all rice.

Note, that I didn't know about mercury and lead blocking enzymes needed to digest milk casein and wheat gluten before I noticed that food grade diatomaceous earth seemed to help my situation.
