In recent years we have all heard about “Gluten-free” diets. There have been misconceptions about Gluten, as it has taken on a a fad-like essence. Some people came to believe that eliminating Gluten would result in weight loss, while others thought that being on a Gluten free diet is a healthier way of eating for everyone; BOTH OF THESE NOTIONS ARE NOT TRUE.
However, GLUTEN SENSITIVITY or INTOLERANCE IS NOT A MYTH! In the VIDEO you are about to watch below, Dr. Axe explains that Gluten is the sticky protein that is found in wheat, rye, and barley. The Gluten found in our foods is different than the protein of yesteryear. It has become a hybrid, most probably due to environmental changes in farming and pesticides, which may explain why more people today find it challenging to digest, than in years before.
You may be one of those people who have a sensitivity or intolerance to Gluten, but could be unaware. So the question arises as to the how to find out if you are suffering from this. Dr. Axe discusses the SYMPTOMS, SIDE EFFECTS and WARNING SIGNS that may be indicative of GLUTEN INTOLERANCE:
1) DIGESTIVE ISSUES: after eating a meal with Gluten you experience gassy bloating, diarrhea and constipation.
2) FOOD ALLERGIES: To Eggs, Wheat and Dairy.
3) CHRONIC FATIGUE: Trouble concentrating and feeling of restlessness.
4) FIBROMYALGIA
5) Little red bumps on the back of your arm that itch.
6) UNEXPLAINED STUBBORN WEIGHT GAIN
7) JOINT PAIN such as Arthritis or Brain Inflammation. This is caused by Gluten eventually TEARING A HOLE IN YOUR GUT and leaking through, causing inflammation throughout the body!
8) AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES eventually result from the gluten leakage throughout the body, as cells perceive it as a foreign body attacking.
9) MOOD SWINGS: worsening of symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD and Autism.
Dr. Axe goes into more depth about disorders, that present CLEAR WARNING SIGNS, that you probably are sensitive to Gluten. He recommends an easy-to-follow way to go gluten-free, known as the “GAPS DIET”, and a process of eliminating certain foods and reintroducing them to ascertain whether Gluten is the culprit!
