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.
