Gluten reaction was one of the first things the allergists I've gone to since adolescence ever looked at as a possible cause of my eczema and allergies, which I've had for years. (It wasn't caused by gluten intolerance.) I think it's important for informed people not to assume it's the possible root of all illnesses.
It's much more common in Europe to test children and adults for gluten problems in a variety of medical situations. My brother in law is a therapist that works with Autism in England, and whole families go Gluten and Casein Free if their child is autistic.

Not all illnesses are caused by gluten, but it's way beyond just "classic" Celiac, which I have. My wife humored me until she took a test herself and is now on the diet. I was a naysayer myself until I became more familiar with the wide range of illnesses that are caused by this.

There are only a few facilities in the whole country that are experts on this, and most of them are not publicizing the the gluten "sensitive" people, who are the ones most at risk, because they don't have the celiac intestinal symptoms - and by conservative estimates that's at least THIRTY PERCENT of the population.

If it were only the official 1 in 133 people, several million people, with classic Celiac, I'd be less likely to make this effort. The actual number of people that should be gluten free is much higher than the two or three million that the medical pundits and Celiac gurus officially recognize. I think that itâ??s political, because the hospitals and universities have sponsors that would not like the American people like to hear the truth about the American diet.

Over 50 percent of our diet now has cow's milk and gluten grains. It is not going to be popular with the corporations that produce them when people find out that they are poisoning themselves.

They don't consume it in Japan, and outlive us. In fact, they have the longest lifespan in the world.
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . GERD (Acid Reflux) What is GERD (acid reflux)? "Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD, or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up, or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining of the esophagus although this occurs in a minority of patients. The regurgitated liquid usually contains acid and pepsin that are produced by the stomach. (Pepsin is an enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in the Rating: 5
