I've had IBS nearly all my life. At 40 it started to get worse, and continued to get worse, until I started bleeding rectally. I started have bad diarrhea constantly, so bad that I was hospitalized for dehydration. Nobody could tell me what was wrong. I started food elimination, starting with dairy and gluten. In 4 days all my intestinal problems disappeared, along with lifelong migraines. Added diary back to my diet with no problems, added gluten, full on diarrhea and rectal bleeding. My wife is a biochemist, so she started doing blind testing, I didn't know what I was eating, my body did, I reacted within days of having gluten. I eliminated gluten from my diet and got rid of my IBS for good, 99.9% of my migraines and I lost 30 pounds I still ate the same just replaced the gluten.
My son exhibited ADD/ADHD signs along with some severe emotional immaturity. In the course of my investigation I read that gluten intolerance is a spectrum disorder the symptoms can vary widely, so I took a shot and switched him to a gluten free diet. He reacted in about 18 hours, he became a totally different person. It was stunning, removing the gluten was life changing for him. His grades changed immediately, just looking into his eyes, they looked different. No more up and down no more over reactions, no more anything.
Gluten alters his brain chemistry and it's noticeable within hours of his eating gluten. We didn't tell anyone at first that we removed gluten, but everyone who interacted with him noticed it the first time they saw him after we switched his diet. His teachers wrote notes, his friends wanted to know what meds he was on. We did blind testing with our son, once, the change was so dramatic it scared us, he eliminated gluten and hasn't looked back.
My doctor and his doctors tell us we are succumbing to the effects of mass media. It's no wonder health care is a mess in the U.S.
- appleflaxen 10y agoso... were you tested for celiac disease?
- r00fus 10y agoThe Celiac test is expensive and sometimes comes up negative if you're just gluten intolerant.
