Gluten-sensitivity or Celiac: Gluten Is Everywhere!

Even if you dont have a gluten intolerance, you might want to avoid the stuff. But gluten is everywhere! Gluten is the protein found inside the endosperm (thats the plant tissue) of grains like wheat, oats, rye, barley, and triticale. Dr. Igor Schwartzman explains. Learn more at www.wellwire.com

@dartrinton, yes, I do recommend that you minimize gluten in any person's food choices. It may not be an issue at this point in time, but over long-term it may present itself as an aggravating factor.

Yeah i often used to throw up at night, stomach pains, attention problems, allergies, bleeding lower intestine. They told me to eat more wheat and grains and my intestines nearly shut down. I couldn't even sit down it so much. I would pass out into my food in my teens when i would eat spaghetti. When i stopped eating gluten, all of the symptoms stopped and return only when i accidently ingest it.

@SaxmanNateEarthsong Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad that you are on a much better track.

I've got your common immune disease symptoms and was thinking about going gluten free. But after going aroud my kitchen, I've realized how hard it would actually be. Would it be alright to simply reduce my intakes (for example being French, I tend to eat a lot of bread. That I can stop) but eliminating soy sauce and others condiments like that is too much to ask.

I dun know... Do I have to go 100% gluten free or??

[DrSchwartzman]

@LSecret I would certainly recommend being completely gluten-free. Yes, tofu is gluten-free, unless it is covered in sauces that have gluten in them.

what about gluten sensitivity causing skin problems? You didnt mention that.

[DrSchwartzman]

@gypsykatcher30 Absolutely, it can aggravate the skin.

going to a gluten free diet has made me free of all those symptoms. I feel younger, and this without medication. Also, being lactose intolerant, has me really careful about what i eat. But it's worth it.

1. include links in each of your vids to your OTHER vids 2. ask a compelling and very specific question at the end of your vids --viewers will comment, thereby boosting your google search score, later enhancing viewership. "What is your % estimate regarding the goodness of perky boobs....?" OK i'm teasing, but u get the picture.

Would you reccomend eliminating Gluten from ones diet if you do not have a Sensivity to Gluten? I personally have never had any of the more minor symptoms (I barely get sick, nor do i suffer from sleeplessness, etc).
