Why Do
I Know
So Much About Gluten Intolerance?! Why Did I Decide To Make a Change?!
Being tested for gluten intolerance was
one of the best things I have
ever done, I had my suspicions about my allergies, but never did it
cross my mind my diet could be the cause of all my suffering. I knew To
well what it is like to suffer undiagnosed, and put up with discomfort
in everyday
life. Eczema, Gas, Asthma, Fatigue, Low Energy, Weight Gain, Depression
and Crankiness. So What Did I Do... Well I sought the help of a
professional, and
after a quick run over of the symptoms (for which i met almost all of
them) I decided it was time I got a blood test and found out exactly
what I was illergic To.
I am told 1/5 People
React to
Gluten... thats pretty amazing!
Why is Gluten
Such a
Problem?
Gluten literally acts as
a tool
to Glue your food together, so it sticks to everything, which can be
hard for intolerant peoples digestive systems. And its EVERYWHERE. In
everything from food, bread and cakes, to pasta, sauces and
lollies,
through to shampoo and conditioner, to moisturizers and soaps. Its
amazing the things you will find that contain wheat, once you start
reading the labels.
In day to day life we
eat and
rely on so many
processed and pre-packed foods, that we are eating a lot more gluten
then the body was originally designed for. Long gone are the days where
people live off the land, hunt for fish and game, and eat veges they
grow them selves, We live in a society of convenience, the microwave
meal, prepackaged sauces, biscuits from a packet, and often our meat is
highly processed. Coming into this much gluten in daily life cause
people to have a reaction.
So Be sure to get tested, they
can actually tell what level of intolerance you have, and if its more
serious like coeliac! Then with a few dietary changes you could be
feeling better in no time!
Gluten Free The Way To Be!
When I was first diagnosed my Dr (Rodney Ford) gave me a copy of his
book "Going Gluten Free" I found this to be a very powerful resource,
and highly recommend his books to anyone... He is constantly writing
new books, with recipes, medical studies, gluten free journeys of
children and adults, dealing with a number of allergies.
