Gluten sensitivity response can be caused by foods that don’t even have gluten in them, mostly other grains but chocolate and tapioca are on the list too. One can have the gene for Celiacs disease (which is an intense gluten sensitivity that can be very debilitating), and it can be turned off, so you don’t have a problem with Gluten…yet.
Gluten sensitivity responses can be so subtle, you may not even know it is causing a problem in you, but it matters because the resulting inflammation can lead to high cholesterol, digestive disorders, brain fog, and more.
Up until very recently now in 2011, the lab tests were not there for unplugging all the confusion around gluten, but now there is. Cyrexlabs.com is at our service and specializes only on this very topic. It is worth saving up to get these tests. Tell your health practitioner about them, and see if you can get them to write you a referral for them. Tell him or her that they have an MD experienced in these labs with whom they can discuss the outcomes.
It could add a few years and a lot of energy to your life!
