The 10 Most Common Mistakes People Make When Dealing with Gluten Intolerance

[Scott Adams]

I am writing this article hoping to help those who have been diagnosed with gluten intolerance but who are still not feeling well, as well as for those who need to be diagnosed or will be in the future.

Just to clarify our terms, I use 'gluten intolerance' as an umbrella term to encompass both celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

I have the privilege of speaking with many individuals, on a weekly basis, who not only live in the locality of my clinic but also those who live across the United States and internationally. Just a few days ago I had phone consultations with individuals living in Shanghai, Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

Fortunately a new lab test by Cyrex Labs is due to be released this summer (2012) that will go a step further. This test will reveal if an autoimmune disease is being created as a result of consuming gluten and what part of the body is being targeted.

Not a fan of Cyrex Labs and I will be very interested to see the specifics of this "test" myself.  Seems like a tall order to predict what it claims it does.  I mean, if the test is that good and does what it says, then are the rest of the medical world using this?  Cyrex makes claims that sound pretty absurd, at times.

She had to go there, didn't she?  The cross reactive foods theory.  That happens with allergies, not intolerances.  But I guess I have to remember that Dr. Vikki is a chiropractor, not an immune specialist.  Nothing against chiro's either.  I have a fabulous one that has helped me out with back issues better than any other doctor I ever saw.  But he doesn't tell me how to eat, he concentrates on my bones and muscles.    Dr. Vikki does make some good points, though, other than the ones I mentioned.

I saw who wrote it and didn't really read it.  Seemed like it should actually be a paid ad for her "clinic"
