Do I need to cut down on the Gluten?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

What the hell is gluten, anyway? It sounds like something undigestible, that might get stuck in my esophagus.

Those that are anti-gluten will tell you that description is pretty much dead-on. I poked around a bit after reading about gluten on some other blogs. I still don’t understand completely, but basically if you can avoid wheat products and sauces you’re on the right track. I’m going to have to ping a family member that works as a nutritionist for a better explanation.

As for me, I was looking into reasons why I get urgent, watery bowel movements two or three afternoons per week. Gluten was one possibility. I didn’t avoid bread this week since my lunch most days consists of a sandwich, but I did keep cheese off the sandwiches and didn’t have any issues that required the tight-cheeked walk of shame. So maybe its just a lactose sensitivity.

More research definitely in order.

I find gluten intolerance in almost every single one of my clients with digestive complaints. Celiac's is actually a full blown autoimmune condition whereas gluten intolerance is a reference to the inability to digest it properly.

You don't need a biopsy either. There are many other tests that look at protein and immune reactivity to gluten by way of saliva.

Consult to an expert therapist or consult a doctor about this, he will really suggest a better solutions towards this and you will then finally get the hit what's gluten is?

Both my kids and my ex wife are gluten intolerant - known as coeliac.
This is a surprisingly common condition - get yourself checked out by a doctor - the only really sure way of confirming it, is with a biopsy.
Probably isn't coeliac - more likely if you have history of it in family - signs of it can be anemia and lack of energy, as the intolerance reaction means that your gut cannot absorb nutrients effectively.
