Recognise any of these symptoms?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: food intolerance test

When what you’re eating starts eating you. Check out this easy to read book “The Gluten Connection” by Shari Lieberman PHD http://www.glutenconnection.com/uof/glutenconnection/

Cases of people with excema, autism, ADHD, acne, psoriasis, diabetes, and more immune system conditions who found relief from medication and health problems after going on GLUTEN-FREE diet.

Also a interesting section about what happened to a Diarrhoea Dog when he went Gluten-Free.

Also why cat and dog food are causing diarrhoea. “After GC discovered that the main portion of her dog’s diet had been wheat cereal, GC took him off commercial dog food and began to feed him home-cooked chicken, carrots and rice.

She occasionally mixes in other vegetables and even fruit. The Maltese licked his chops after every meal.
The result: No diarrhoea, smelly flatulence and no bloating. On the dog’s final check-up, the veterinarian could not believe how old he was. He died at the ripe old age of 17.”

Music by Mendy & Mia Magistro (MySpace good quality sound recording) written after Hurricane Katrina.

If you recognise any of these symptoms:
mouth ulcers, pale stools, miscarriage, depression, pins and needles in arms, legs, low iron, losing weight, putting on weight, sore bones, osteoporosis, itcy, rashy skin you may have Celiac Disease.

Feel more energetic and sleep better on a gluten-free diet. Its a life-long treatment.

It may require further tests to be sure including non-invasive gluten sensitivity stool tests and fat malabsorption stool tests.

You might want to try a simple self diagnostic test: Try the gluten-free diet for 1 month and see if you have any improvement in your symptoms - sleep better? decreased rashes? improvement in your overall mood? feeling more energetic?
