      There are a lot of 'gluten free' products out there that are just gluten free junk food. Dont be fooled. Not taking away any of your issues. But there's a lot of foods we really don't need. You really don t need high starch foods, high carb foods And grains. I went gluten free 12 yrs. ago. I lost 30 pounds that first year and felt great. But several things happened at the same time. I went for my first colonoscopy so I had to flush out my system prior to the event. On the third day after I woke up feeling like I was 20 yrs. younger. It was amazing. So some thing was definitely going on in my gut. I had read an article about wheat allergies and I had like 11 of the 12 symptoms they outlined.
      I tried an experiment, I ate what ever I wanted for three weeks and the symptoms returned. I stayed away from wheat products for three weeks and the symptoms went away. I did this for three full cycles. Every time the results were the same, I was better off without the wheat products in my diet.
      So it s hard to say did I loose the weight because I was less stressing my gut and reducing Inflamation? Was it because by removing the wheat I also removed all the empty calories that are found in breads, pastas and snack food? Was I feeling better because I was eating a much more nutritient rich diet consuming fruit, vegetables and complex carbohydrates?
      I'm still not sure, I eat a little bit of wheat products now and seem to get away with it; but we'll see, the juries still out.

    I was diagnosed with celiac this year . I really miss food. It took 42 years of being miss diagnosed. Food was causing me to feel like I had the flu every day extreme fatigue and chronic pain. If I ate too much bread my bones would literally feel broken. Extreme depression, insomnia, after a week of eating only fruits , nuts and vegetables 42 years of symptoms disappeared and I felt good for the first time . I feel like I have a second chance at life to live like a normal person. However if I accidentally eat gluten all the symptoms come immediately back and I'm in a sleep coma for three days.🙄.

      Well I wish everyone a complete recovery! It took me a while to accept it, but when you follow the advice it does speed up the process! (For example, avoiding dairy, sugar... when you’re especially damaged and trying to heal.) I recommend finding a basic diet you can follow - I have a goal of 2 fruits, 2 veggies, only 1 dessert if I must, and at least 1-2 protein, and 1 healthy fat per day. It’s amazing to have days when you actually feel almost normal and healthy!! It’s worth the hassle and so peaceful when you accept that it’s part of life. (Oh, and I avoid gluten substitutes like bread and pasta as often as possible.)

    I suffered from chronic acne deep into my 20's, it was over my face and particularly bad on my back. After noticing that it got worse when I ate more bread, I went to a gluten free diet and it started to clear up instantly. I have always been healthy and exercised a lot, and took care of my diet, I was mostly eating whole wheat forms of gluten prior to cutting out. Therefore, I definitely think some people have a sensitivity to gluten that can cause them issues.

      I don't think anyone can question if this worked for you, you would know, but they can question whether it was really removing gluten from the diet c** or perhaps removing other things that were in the food that contained gluten, without knowing it, that you also removed from your diet. considering that gluten is mostly associated with bread products and those are highly processed, and part of a generally unhealthy diet, it's not surprising that many people will see health benefits from removing the gluten food even if it's not the gluten itself doing it (i.e. removing or minimizing consumption of bread, pizza, pasta, pastries and other things is probably a good move for the vast majority of the population even if they could 100% digest gluten)

    I am the mother of a Coeliac, at the age of 1yr , she weighed less than her birthweight of 6lb 13oz, she had steatorrhoea . To the point I was watching my girl fade away. Her consultant called me a fussy mother. It was so bad, keeping up with the nappies was impossible. We were so bombarded with her illness my husband lost his job, too much time off work. Our lives were a mess. It got to the point where we were buying nappies instead of food, hubby wasn't working, I was also heavily pregnant. That's when my dad stepped in, he hired an ambulance and crew and had my baby taken to Great Ormand Street. Both my daughter and me were admitted. She was so dehydrated the only vein they could find was on the top of her head to run a drip. We were lucky that Professor Walker Smith happened to be in the hospital that day. That beautiful man, saved my girls life. I wish he could see her now, she's 29yrs old and doing a masters degree in psychology , she already gained a 1st in sociology and 3rd world slavery. She's a tiny person, I don't mean dwarfism, but just a small compared to the rest of the family...she blows me away with her lust for life. Even now, her condition is so serious she has to cross the street if she approaches a bakery. Too much gluten in the air!. Bless Great Ormand Street Hospital. Thank you guys for highlighting this illness. people these days take it as a dietary choice? Good for them, but for those that actually suffer, it's not a choice. It's life.

    The one thing against your argument that it may be the general diet that needs examining, is that the rest of the world doesn’t follow a typical American diet but there’s still a lot of us out there with gut problems. A lot of additives that are allowed there aren’t in any countries, most countries don’t use corn syrup, and the consumption of pre-packaged and ready made meals is, I suspect, higher in the US. My son was diagnosed with coeliac disease a few years ago and I’ve suffered from similar symptoms until 5 months ago when I cut out wheat, barley oats and rye.

      I am with you 100%. I suffered from severe migraine headaches multiple times per week. I do not consume alcohol and I do not smoke and eat a fairly healthy diet. Under medical supervision I eliminated everything, one at a time, everything my doctor suggested and nothing made any difference. I continued to suffer for years. Someone suggested that I try eliminating gluten from my diet for 30 days and see if that might help. For the first few days I had flu like symptoms but then they subsided. Then it dawned on me, like a lightening bolt, NO migraines!!!! I had not had a migraine in a week!!!!!! So, I kept on going. It has been about 18 years since I made the decision to eliminate gluten and I can honestly tell you that there is positively NOTHING containing gluten that I could ever eat that would taste as good as being migraine free feels. Absolutely nothing, ever!! I think I can count on just one hand the times I have accidentally ingested gluten and suffered severely for it since I went gluten free. Wishing everyone that reads this good health and if you suffer from migraines, give it a try.

      Exactly!! I have non-celiac gluten sensitivity and it's horrible! I'm so glad that I live in Mexico and we eat a lot of corn. When I started with symptoms and went to my doctor, he told me that there could be many things that could cause that sensitivity, it could be even caused by parasites. In the end and after a lot of tests and everything being normal I just stopped eating gluten, and I feel good. Also I swim 3 times a week, eat vegetables and fruits and don't drink or smoke, so I don't think that's applicable to everyone with gluten sensitivity

    Excellent video! Love all your stuff but this was one of The Best on this subject that I’ve seen. I have exactly gluten-induced leaky gut, largely healed now thanks to literally hundreds of TH-cam videos, which led me an outstanding nutritionist. We did genetic testing, GI Map and a micronutrient blood test. My micronutrient panel was one of the best the nutritionist had ever seen, and she’s a 30+ year veteran practitioner. I have only had antibiotics once or twice in the past thirty years (I had a sinus infection in 2017, the last time I had an antibiotic). My anti-gliadans were 426, should have been under 157. All that said, I think it’s my genetics, combined with the indifference and at times, downright hostility, that mainstream medicine has towards even considering any of the things you so elegantly discuss in this video. I have exactly what you’re talking about, despite a near excellent healthy lifestyle - good sleep, daily exercise, excellent nutrition and hydration, very moderate consumption of alcohol (mainly red wine, typically a 5 ounce serving), and my numbers for routine, annual blood work are excellent. I think the causes of my condition are: 1) genetics; 2) genetically modified wheat; and 3) indifference on the part of mainstream medical practitioners. My condition, which has been in the past extreme, horrendous and mysterious, is now well managed and not too much of a problem. I’m grateful to: TH-cam; my nutritionist; GX Sciences; Pendulumlife.com; Pure Encapsulations; BodyBio; Designs For Health … and I’m grateful, very, very grateful, for videos like this one.

    I consider one important factor is other additives and preservatives in gluten-containing products in the US specifically. There is significant feedback from patients who consider themselves gluten-sensitive saying that once they go to Italy, they eat all the pasta they want and have no issues at all. The fact that we have bread that doesn’t go bad for weeks in the US is one example.
    In terms of “gluten sensitivity”, my primary care doc did a comprehensive blood allergy test, and gluten, in addition to several other things I knew I was allergic to, came up with as high reaction.

    I got celiac disease in 2019 diagnosed. I was 38. I remember that this tjme I was trying to bake great breads and bought super good gluten reach flour. In about 2 years I lost my job and all carrier, everything I fought for because I was not even be able to walk 50m, not able to stand because of pains etc. And as because I was too old, everyone just said, my problems were psychic. So I am sure it is the gluten itself. That today it is more aggressive, und much more in the flour than before. Yes I also have the genetic predisposition, but in the family I am the only one. Also the only one who baked bread... so the causality is quite clear in my case. Take care with gluten reach flour.

    Hey! Thank you for the simple direct and informed video!. I'm celiac and I've been on a gluten free diet for over 10 years. My symptoms were neurological and gastrointestinal (mostly diarreia, severe numbness of the body, mental fog and pains). All of them vanished when I quit gluten. I've never actually had an official diagnose. I've been trough intensive exams for about 7 years. At the last exam - the endoscopy and colonoscopy - I was so weak I colapsed and had to be feed. This means because of how ill I was, my doctor couldn't perform what would probably prove my celiac disease. Over time my older sister started to develop severe symptoms to gluten too. Again, she was never able to have an official diagnose and cut gluten off her diet on her own. My mother tried cutting gluten from her diet and realised the gastrointestinal disconfort she always had vanished. On my father's side I have 2 first cousins who cut gluten of their diet because it made them very sick too.
    So... this makes me question a lot of things. I wouldn't say most of my family is celiac, I think we probably have the genes that may lead to celiac disease, and in different intensities developed a response to it. Some since only a few months old, others on their 20s, 30s, 40s and 60s. We also have different reactions on different kinds of gluten. My sister for example has no issues eating oats. I do. And european and american gluten also give us different reactions (as a kid american "bolicaos" made me poop bood, but regular portuguese bread was ok for me to consume - or so I thouth).
    Outside my family, gluten responses seam to be less commun, but is this because the portuguese people in general are ok with gluten, or is it because most people are not aware of their disconfort and other health symptoms? I do believe most portuguese people have some issue with gluten - specially wheat gluten. Maybe, with regular mediterranian diets, it was not bad enough to actually create damages or to reduce people quality of life, but with globalization people started to eat in a different way and gluten became the standart. So gluten reactions became more visible - and in cases like mine, more severe. So my opinion, if at all relevant, is that the issue - as in many others things - is the standartization, the lack of moderation when it comes to gluten in modern cuisine. We might need to take a step back and go local, go healthy, go moderately with our ways of eating (and living).
    Sorry for such a long rant (and my not so good english). Best wishes to all :)

    I had a pretty good talk with an ER doctor and a gastroenterologist about my gluten sensitivity. They both figured it was the result of my IBS and continued stress on my digestive system. When I was later diagnosed with endometriosis, the conversation with another ER doctor and a gynaecologist was about how damaging frequent flare ups are throughout the body. So yeah, I think my sensitivity is an unfortunate result of my overall health issues, but it’s also not going to disappear because those health issues aren’t curable. I live a life of symptom management, good days and bad days, and being gluten free does drastically reduce the number of bad days. For the record, I do also eat pretty damn healthy lol.

      Hi, I just read your comment and I emphasize with you. I too have IBS. In my case it comes from the fact that I'm living and surviving a whiplash injury that happened 25 years ago, with constant severe pain for 25 years and counting. It's not easy to treat my pain either, more's the pity. My next level of pain regiment would be palliative care, but doing that for the next 30 or so years isn't very practical.
      Most of my pain symptoms are the same now as they were when I stepped out of the car, and a very few disappeared within the first weeks. Pain is the ultimate physical stress as I'm sure you know with the endometriosis and all. I'm not "officially" diagnosed either, but after many "anecdotal" observations I now cut out gluten and also lactose as much as possible.
      Sometimes I cheat, but knowing fully what it will cost me in the week or more afterwards, and being prepared to accept that, as newly baked bread can be very yummy. I've noticed that there are differences to how poorly I'll be, depending on what kind of wheat I eat. For some reason I seem to tolerate sourdough bread much better than regular bread. The sourdough we buy is locally produced by a couple of bakeries around town, and is usually organic. I also tolerate wheat better when it's prepared with something like yoghurt or buttermilk too (lactose free if possible). Those preparations we usually do at home and we use organic ingredients as much as we possibly can. Maybe I should mention that I live in Scandinavia, and inot in the US.
      I wish you well and that your life will be a better tomorrow that it is today and that goes for all the other days too. Or maybe as the good Mr Spock would say: "live long and prosper". Yours Ann

    I am gluten sensitive and my wife has celiac. My mother had celiac and was practically on her death bed before she was diagnosed, and she was tested numerous time for celiac, before she tested positive. I have been tested for celiac, but it was negative, so I assumed I was fine. Since I would cook for my mother, I knew how to cook gluten free, and decided to go gluten free for a month to lose a few pounds, planing to start eating gluten again when I achieved my goal. To my surprise, a laundry list of symptoms disappeared, including digestive, cognitive and health. I had attributed most of these symptoms to aging, and felt like I had drank from the fountain of youth. The most surprising was the memory and cognitive improvements, which were life changing. Also, my recovery and ability to build muscle improved. I realize that this may be because I am in a pre-celiac state, and would eventually have gotten celiac if I continued to eat wheat gluten. My reason for pointing all this out is that, with current testing methods, and the cynicism of many medical professionals, I feel that celiac often goes undiagnosed, and that the 1% number is a gross underestimation. Also, from my wife's and mother's experience, celiac symptoms are far from being limited to colon issues.

    I just cut out gluten one day. Everything food related was gluten free from that day on.
    Within a day I was already feeling better. Within a week it was like my body was brand new.
    One day after about a year I was like meh it was all in my head. I never had gluten intolerance, psh. I ate some bread and other regular gluten stuff, confident it wouldn’t do anything bad.
    It all came back with a vengeance and a grudge and then some. I was miserable like I hadnt been in about a year and to go from being just fine to that miserable again I realized I don’t know how I lived almost 38 years being misdiagnosed and going through all that pain and misery.

    I know another whose only symptom was constant broken bones- from the body not absorbing calcium. And another whose only symptom was miscarriages.

The worst depression and anxiety that I have ever experienced before! I could not get a handle on my mental health and was stuck in a depressed hell hole fantasizing about suicide every day! I couldn't work anymore because I cried all day for no reason! I had to move back home with my mom to try to figure it out! I knew I needed nutrition, so I went raw vegan strictly for 32 days! It felt like the most amazing 32 days in my body that I have ever had to this day!! My depression was GONE! My mother at the time started making homemade sourdough bread, so I decided to have a slice since I was feeling so much better! By the next morning after waking, I was crying all over again! I cannot eat wheat without getting suicidally depressed overnight! It takes days to start feeling better! Please remember I have no digestive pain or discomfort with wheat. It is all mental health for me! I now have adopted phrases like "wheat hell holes" or "wheat poisoned" when I accidentally consume a little wheat! My friends and family joke about having to put me in a padded room for a week if they see me drooling over a donut or cake! It's that bad! Even a beer can make me feel "off" for a few days! I have since run into a few others like me! Even a mother and daughter that both had it! They said it takes them almost two months to feel better after eating wheat! I don't know what causes this!?!

I do miss chewy doughs and soft breads (I loved to bake before I found out and am getting used to GF baking now) but no amount of delicious pizza or decadent cake is worth that feeling.

    I was so severely sick before being diagnosed with celiac, I was pre diabetic and had to have shots of medicine injected into my stomach every day, I was anemic to the point my skin was gray, and I was passing out daily (I wish all of this was an exaggeration)
    I live in a small town where medical care is garbage so it took almost 2 years for a doctor to think “hmm maybe we should test you for celiac disease” sure enough that’s exactly what it was. As soon as I stopped eating gluten I was no longer pre diabetic or anemic and was able to go off all my diabetes medication. I still have permanent damage to the nerves in my hands and feet from it going undiagnosed for so long, which I didn’t know was a thing celiac could do until a neurosurgeon told me when he diagnosed me with peripheral neuropathy

She is extremely sensitive to even trace amounts of gluten, not much fun when you put yr trust in other ppl, but she’s pretty tough. When she was about 30 she developed gut issues again, and to cut a long story (and another long road to diagnosis) short she has IBS and now strictly follows a low FODMAP diet. All is well again. The reason I write this is to share the knowledge that we found along the way.

    My point of view comes from my native American ancestors. My ancestors learned from watching the results and consequences of others. My grandma and great-grandma would tell us that wheat, barley, and oats work different on humans and animals. If you feed it to the animals for 1 week to 2 months before you eat them, you will eat delicious fat meat. If humans eat it daily they will be fat, week but stay alive. Our people had seen this a few hundred years back. They told us about a bunch of frail skin, teeth decaying, fragile bone, and hair loosing people that came from across the sea. Their Aristocrat slave owners fed them bread daily. These people looked like they would soon die.
    We are a helpful, compassionate people so we allowed them to stay and fed them all the food in the land that made them and their children strong.
    We use corn instead of what you now call gluten. We would eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of bread.
    Centuries ago, we did not go to expensive universities to learn, we saw examples and used it as the explanations. It's nice to see that what my ancestors learned from observation, can now be explained to those that doubted what could clearly be seen.

I would sometimes have gluten on purpose (it’s a tough transition!) or completely accidental (american sushi restaurants using imitation snow crab which contains wheat) and it was awful! I miss the simple times where I could have a slice of cake at a party, and would do it if I didn’t already know the consequences of doing so. I saw other people mention fructans in the comments as an alternative explanation, but I don’t have any reaction to garlic or onions so that probably isn’t the issue. Very interesting to read alternative theories regarding other proteins and lifestyle impacts.
    I was diagnosed with non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, so it is what it is I guess! I get a solid 7-8 hours sleep, am on my feet 8-12 hours for work, don’t drink, and eat fruits and vegetables (even though I am not a fan of many veggies!) so that explanation doesn’t seem to apply for me. I firmly agree though that gluten isn’t scary, unhealthy or downright BAD, nor do I think it’s all in my and other’s heads. Gluten is completely fine for the vast majority of the population. We just don’t have the answers as to why some people have a sensitivity rather than an autoimmune reaction at this point, but lack of answers does not mean we aren’t experiencing the weird and painful symptoms!

I thought it was just a stress stomach starting to churn up with a severe sense of pressure, distress. But I had a strong wondering about the wheat. So today, before microwaving, I decided to put the muffin away, & maybe freeze them & take a break from them & see. And interestingly, no stomach distress all day today, as I've had the last few days with my 'bunch of wheat.' So I guess what I'm saying is I have now become my own science experiment...

      Or you could had lose your gallbladder thanks to gluten as sensitivity could cause harm to any organ and or system in the body. If I eat gluten in 24 to 48 hours I will be feeling “ strange” on my right side with kind of pain and even a tremor in that area, then I could become bad from my digestive system any minute after that. Any strong food or by eating some more than my common fat intake ( very little) could make suffer for more than one month.

Watching this is not only interesting in itself, but from my own perspective even more so and the malabsorption that affects me not just with food but with meds I take for other health issues. I knew and understood what was done in my bypass, but seeing the actual thing opens my understanding on a whole different level.

    I have a history of chronic fatigue, and developed debilitating long covid. I also have adhd, hashimoto, Autoimmune gastritis, and histamine sensitivity. Constant bloating, fatigue, brain fog, puffy face. I tried every treatment I could, and have various specialist doctors. Recently a long covid specialist recommended cutting gluten, as did my endocrinologist. The difference was staggering, within a day. My mind was suddenly clear, as if I put on glasses and could see sharp again, in vivid colours, after years of brain fog, better than any adhd meds. Bloating gone, puffy face gone, fatigue gone. I did not want it to work, I live in Europe and love my baked goods, plus there is less gluten free stuff on offer here. Went back to eating gluten when I was tempted, and within days I'm on a steady decline again.
    I am now recommending this others who have similar struggles. It's worth a try.

    Good Morning Justin,
    Three years ago now I fell very ill, and my wife, who thought I had bowel Cancer, literally dragged me along to the Doctors (as you will know Justin we men HATE any form of medical intervention in the going about of our man lives). Prior to this I was an Engineer at a Timber Mill with entirely negligible health issues.
    Our GP told us I had the highest blood marker for Celiac he had ever seen, and sent me to the (coughing up a large and particularly distasteful furball here) Hospital, where they shoved a tube down my throat, nearly choked me to death, and showed me the camera image of my stomach/Duodenum.
    My stomach looked like a veneer kitchen counter top - literally. The Surgeon told me in the years he had been doing these procedures he had never seen anything quite like it, and my diagnosis was confirmed.
    Now bare with me Justin, as this is where things get interesting, and after watching your video, the reason I am writing to you.
    I kept on eating Gluten (we were not told of the whole eat gluten free and good things will happen for quite a while) - white bread, sausages, wheat products, McDonalds...the lot. Nothing happened. Nothing.
    I should state here I also have a Vascular small vessel Brain Disease and some other disorder I cannot even pronounce (unfortunately it's 2.47 am in the morning here and so waking the wife to ask would be tantamount to stepping gleefully in front of a runaway freight train...)
    I have read there are four stages of Celiac, 1 being the least problematic, 4 the worst case. Apparently I have stage 4, in which it no longer matters what I eat (probably for nefarious reasons). No Scientific evidence to my knowledge.
    I know my small vessel disease will put an end to me well before anything emanating from Celiac, and for this reason I really put Celiac on the back burner, but I wanted to let you know I am on your side of this debate - I would even go so far as to say there may well be some placebo effect at play by those profiteering (and there are plenty) and marketing their over-priced Gluten-free foul tasting rubbish (my opinion). Listening to you there is obviously some degree of toxicity involved, but how much, and to what degree, has never been explained, nor have I ever been shown empirical Scientific evidence that would make me believe Gluten to be the be all and end all of this debate. It just doesn't make any sense. Except to those cashing in on us suffering from the disease.
    Your thoughts on this as a Gentleman educated far more than I will ever be on this subject....???

      I truly appreciate your kind words! Your story is fascinating, and I wish I had some valuable insight for your situation specifically, but beyond what I spoke about in the video, I don’t know that that’s the case.
      Celiac’s is most definitely a real condition, but my suspicion is that many of its symptoms can be treated with a properly functioning Microbiome. How many of the symptoms, and to what degree? That’s a very individual and circumstantial question.
      My advice is always to listen to the health care providers in your life - namely your GP and GI specialist. However, focusing on your microbiota and overall microbial diversity can only be beneficial in the long run.
      I don’t know that my response is overly helpful, but thank you again for your respectful words and story.

      yes! there are just so many cascading issues with all the highly processed foods in the modern diet. processed sugar in and of itself being a huge issue. It might be hard to do a proper study on it, but tracking the rise of gluten sensitivity or prevalence of celiac (i think i saw mentioned before that it has more to do with environmental triggers than being genetic) and comparing dates with widespread use of processed sugars (particularly corn syrup), crisco//hydrogenation of vegetable fats... but even the introduction and rise of these processed foods might have really delayed outcomes for successive generations. and with these really extended timeline things, correlation doesn't mean causation. sometimes science is really frustratingly hard to do

    I've found, after much experimenting with food, that I can take a small amount of gluten but if I eat too much in one day then the following day(s) I have joint pain and lethargy. As I have fibromyalgia as well I suspect the two are linked somehow.
    The experimentation came from waking up feeling full of pain and not knowing why. So I buy mainly gluten-free food now which really helps. If I eat a pizza with garlic bread from a pizza store then I know I'm in for a bad next-day. I'm still not sure why though - my doctor didn't really seem interested.

    I appreciate Justin‘s opinion on gluten sensitivity, and would like to say that stress certainly reduces overall health so whether or not your poor health is due to mental/emotional or physical problems, these are factors in causing IBS symptoms. When I switched to a gluten-free diet, I no longer had the runs so this was proof of gluten sensitivity (I tested negative for celiac). When I switched to a gluten-free diet I had the opposite problem. (Constipation) and had to start taking MiraLAX for many months but I eventually weaned off that and I’m now fine and healthier and on zero medication. The reason I tried gluten-free was because I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis, and my gastroenterologist said there was nothing that would help with that but I figured if being gluten-free helps colitis, then maybe it would help microscopic colitis and I was right! I just wish my gastroenterologist would have recommended it! I

    Very nice explanations once again!
    I'd like to add something about the gluten-free products craze at the grocery:
    For people with irritable bowel syndrom (IBS) for example, fructans may be a problem. Most common gluten-containing flours (I'd say all of them but I'm not 100% sure) contain fructans. Many (but NOT all) gluten-free flours are okay for people with IBS because of their low (or nonexistent) fructans content.
    Thus, maybe many people feel better when they eat gluten-free food because they often contain less or no fructans. They think they have a problem with gluten when, in fact they may have a problem with fructans.
    I think maybe that's part of the gluten-free craze you're talking about.
