Not sure what to think about this article.

It's intersting how they say that only a small percentage of the population can't tolerate gluten. They obviously have no clue about how common the disease really is.

My friend just send me a different online article about dropping gluten and all grains from your diet. The article was interesting and was basically promoting the Paleolithic Diet. And then I read through the responses. Idiots. All I can say is I guess it's sort of like religion. You figure out your journey and your path to health,whether it be spiritual or bodily health, and then just don't feel to judged by people who are making different choices. I have to say that it is annoying when you've spent a decade feeling like all your symptoms were "all in your head" and then that's what the naysayers keep saying it's all in our heads. All I know is I control what I put in my body and I feel 20 years younger now.

I laughed at the ? Plus, banning gluten from your diet can be really hard ? . It can be hard but we Celiac's have to eliminate gluten to stop being ill.

I never understood why people think gluten free diet is a good diet to lose weight :S Ever since I have been on the gluten free diet I have gained weight not lost weight :D Lol

So true. For years my friends were so jealous that I could seemingly eat whatever I wanted and never gain any weight. Well...I guess now we know when you are not absorbing any nutrients, you probably will stay underweight, even into your 40's. And I agree with your first point too. My life is infinitely easier now that I am not struggling through every minute of every day. How hard is it to make a salad? My goodness.

This line from the article is pretty funny: "But she said it can be a challenge to eat nutritionally sound without gluten..." Um... I'd say not. I'd say it's very easy to "eat nutritionally sound." (assuming no other allergies) -- meat, beans, dairy, vegetables, fruit, rice, quinoa.... how hard is that? lol.. :lol:

No, in my opinion the challenging part of this disease is avoiding the hidden gluten, and changing our lifestyle to eliminate some of the old favorites -- that donut from Dunkin Donuts maybe, or the Dominoes pizza. But it's not "challenging" to eat a healthy diet.

The part of the article that got me was when they said it occurs naturally. I remember reading a couple years ago that wheat is now genetically engineered to contain 85% gluten, whereas it used to be 5% (when it was really naturally occurring). I should try to look that up again... feel free to correct me in the meantime. :P

And the part about it being challenging to eat nutritionally without gluten? Sheer ignorance. If they had said it would be challenging for the food industry to continue to rake in the money if people quit buying processed foods, then that I can get on board with. B)

Personally, I do believe gluten affects everyone. With that much gluten coating your villi, how can your body be expected to absorb any nutrients?

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
