Why does your guts hurt after you eat or drink things with gluten in it?
Gluten is the quality in wheat (triticale) that makes doughs elastic and spongy. If you get pain in the gut from eating wheat products (pasta, bread, cakes, etc.) you may be suffering from celiac disease. This destroys your villi in your small intestines which absorb nutrients into your body. Stop eating wheat and see a doctor. If you have celiacs you can literally starve to death on a full belly. If not it is possible you have a wheat allergy, similar to lactose intolerance, that makes you gassy. Pain is serious especially if you have celiacs... get tested immediately.
Note: Barley, and rye also contain gluten.

What is the beard of a cereal grain called?
The "beard" portion of the seed head of a cereal grain plant is called, collectively, awns. A single awn is the bristle portion of a seed of grain that extends up at the top point of this seed. The hull protects the endosperm, germ and bran portion of the grain seed. Cereal grains which have such "beards" or awns are wheat, barley, rye and triticale. Rice, corn, and oats do not have such awns due to the different characteristics of their inflorescences or flowering portion of the grass plant.

Is grass-finished beef healthier than grain-finished beef?
According to this website, the taste test of grain-fed beef versus grass-fed beef leaned in favor of the fully foraging cows.
"In the past we believed that beef needed at least 45 days of grain feeding to achieve proper marbling. Most cattle are routinely fed between 100-200 days in a dry lot environment with no access to the natural forage diet. In 1996 we participated in a taste test at the University of Missouri's Forage Systems Research Centre near Linneus, Missouri. There were five selections: 1) Beef finished on 100% confinement full grain diet, 2) Beef finished on a 75% grain, 25% forage diet, 3) Beef finished on a 50% grain, 50% forage diet, 4) Beef finished on a 25% grain, 75% forage diet, and 5) Beef finished on a 100% forage diet."
Grain-fed beef would contain less nutrients, since the grain must be processed, therefore taking portions of the energy out of it. However, since the cows are directly eating the grass, the nutrients would all be preserved and given directly to the cow.
