Gluten Overview

Much has been learned about gluten sensitivity mystery over the last 5-10 years. A quick scan of internet articles will reveal a large variationin estimates of how many people are affected by gluten. Some say it is only 1:100 but more recent research indicates that it is closer to 50%.

I am including a page about gluten in this web site because I think it is closer to 50%. Signs that you might be subject to damage from gluten include:

any autoimmune disease such as autoimmune hypothyroid, skin problems such as acne, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, hair loss, juvenile and adult onset diabetes, esophogeal reflux, heart problems, cancer....Well, you get the idea. The classic celiac was diagnosed by intestinal problems and problems with nutrient absorption. The majority of people affected by gluten sensitivity have mild, variable or no intestinal symptoms.

I am actively working on a talk and then a series of videos that describe the problem and what you can do about. Below is one example and talks about how information is disseminated in our society and why more people don't know about the gluten problem.

I have prepared two CD's with more complete information about the effects of gluten. The first CD is an overview and the second is more about implementaion. You can find these on Amazon (search gluten sensitivity-look for the orange and white CD's) or at OVitaminPro.com (see Resources and Gluten Resources).

Gluten Sensitivity Quick Facts

The above pdf is a list of disorders commonly associated with gluten along with some basic facts.

EnteroLab Order Form and Client Questionnaire

The above pdf file is the Enterolab Order Form along with a one-page basic health questionnaire. The questionnaire information helps correlelate genetic findings with health issues.

Option #1 on the order form will give us the best information but if that is a bit pricey, you can select option #11, the gluten genetic profile. That along with a health history is extremely useful.

Above is a video about why more people don't know gluten.

Below is a video about gluten withdrawals. Be prepared for about three to four weeks of intense withdrawals for about 3-4 weeks after you go truly gluten free!
