People have been eating gluten free for many years, but until recently it has become a fad. First you need to either do a lab, rotation diet, etc to see if you are. Secondly, gliadin is a protein of gluten (wheat), but in a class of prolamines....hordeins, secalins, avenins and ziens...that you might not be intolerant to

If you were to choose the lab tests option, how much would something like that cost Josh?

@WellnessMafia

Depends on the lab.

With 40-50% of the population having a problem with gluten it is not a fad, it is an epidemic. I am gluten intolerant, so is my husband, my two cousins (one blood, one by marriage), my parents, my brother, my sister in law, my in-laws, and everyone of us has seen a substantial health benefit from no more migraines or gut rot to lowering thyroid medications and finally some heart burn relief.

a lot of doctors are not up to date on gluten. They don't know how to test properly. I have been told the best way to see if you're intolerant is to cut thing out and see how you feel (like josh had mentioned is this video). But don't go by doctor's test unless they know what they r doing.

@Cypressmyst I too am autoimmune casein/gluten and my thyroid has indeed suffered over my life eating these proteins unwittingly. Also I am copper toxic too . Ive been gluten/casein free for 8 months and am feeling better overall..key things for me is kelp (250-400mcg Iodine) , selenium (600mcg.), vitamin D (2000-6000IU) and exercise.

The thyroid is a finicky sort of gland as im sure you know.. but stopping the harm is most important to beginning recovery/regeneration. GL2U

[Cypressmyst]

@FletcherHabit So it seems that the thyroid will always be a weak link and in times of stress you may need meds again. The poor gland has had a rough life wouldn't you agree?

I got off grains completely as they all have gluten in some form and worked closely with a functional medicine doctor. It is a lot of work but there is no better goal then good health. ;)

[Cypressmyst]

@FletcherHabit That is the hope I'm currently living under and my ultimate goal. I was successfully off thyroid meds for 8 months this past year until I got into some casein laden ghee for a few weeks (I also have an auto-immune casein issue) and got copper toxic from an IUD. I had a thyroid relapse and am back on meds. BUT my goal remains and given that I couldn't go two weeks without meds in the past without losing it I think 8 months is a sign I am on the right track.

[FletcherHabit]

@Cypressmyst Do you think its possible to have a full thyroid recovery after years off of gluten?

[FletcherHabit]

you cant always trust tests and labwork trust your body

Quinoa as far as I understand is a seed. It's gluten free, too. But he lumped it in with W,R,B (wheat, rye, barley) among others. Why?

[jeffyjeffyjeffy]

is gluten free oats prolamine free?

[Cypressmyst]

@artthugable I have checked and double checked and actually think it is higher than that even. But this particular stat comes from Dr. Vikki Petersen who literally wrote the book on Gluten and deals with it every day at her practice. I'd say it's pretty reliable. ;)

Wow, thanks for this video. I cannot tolerate gluten grains like wheat and oats, but I also cannot tolerate gluten free grains like brown rice and quinoa. What type of tests should I ask my doctor to test for? What specialist should I try to find in Austin, TX.
