Since going gluten free I’m no longer chronically depressed, my digestive issues are gone, my rashes are healed. This is certainly not a fad. I wish people would take this seriously.
I also don't suffer from anemia that doesn't respond to iron supplementation anymore. And while that's great, I'm even more glad I don't suffer from blistering, intensely itchy rashes that last for weeks - as long as I stay away from gluten...
I am 89 years old, still practising as a primary care physician in Medan, Indonesia. I would like to thank you for your exellent, up to date videos in TH-cam. It is really an awesome mindblowing experience for me to listen about functional medicine and autoimmune diseases. It is very kind and compassionate of you to widespread your experience and knowledge for every doctor who is willing to follow you in TH-cam.
I was just diagnosed with celiacs at age 71. Anemia, GI symptoms, osteopenia, exhaustion were just some of my symptoms. I feel totally healthy after 8 months totally GF. To me, it’s a miracle and I have not once knowingly cheated. One time I was exposed eating out and was sick for three days. This is real!
even if you feel better you should go see a doctor because deleting gluten of your diet when you can absorb it its bad for your health as you need the gluten to develop the brain and more stuff
@@Drivenwithambition I mixed information (we celiacs are the ones who may have neurological problems if we eat gluten) but I don't think diabetes 2 or increasing, more, the risk of heart disease it's a cool thing intermountainhealthcare.org/blogs/topics/live-well/2017/11/beware-of-avoiding-gluten-if-you-dont-have-celiac-disease/ www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/gluten/
most people are so addicted to gluten that they are not able to stop until they have a diagnosis of some sort or at least have it on paper that gluten is inpackning their health conditions…
I had the all day long loose stools up to 25 in a day, trapped in the house if I ate. It took awhile for it to get that bad. The real problems started when I moved back to the US after having lived in Germany for three years. Glyphosate was also approved for use as a crop desiccant in the early 2000s, which is when my problems began. Fast forward to 2011 when the day I had 25 loose poops was the day I decided to go gluten free. The digestive issues dramatically ceased within two days. I don’t eat much grain now. I use garbanzo flour, teff and gf oat flour to make my bread which is also full of pumpkin seeds, flax seeds. And for pasta I use red lentil pasta only. So though I never got an official test. I gave up the gluten it worked, so why bother. I fixed my gut with a very restrictive diet, bone broth ( and I was a vegetarian, but I used this anyway to help heal my gut. Now I eat two meals a day, a very high protein breakfast and a lighter dunch around 2-3 pm full of lots of leafy greens. And vegetables probably about 7 servings of Vegas. I don’t eat dinner. I sleep much better, cured the acid reflux this way etc.
My dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was 60, my daughter was diagnosed at 5, it can show up at anytime in life. It can be difficult to deal with when people don't take it seriously.
My husband has Celiac's, his brother may be developing it, his grandmother had it. I'm in my early 20's but just like my mom pregnancy has revealed rheumatoid arthritis. What's a big trigger? Wheat. I can eat gluten, but I'm so thankful for all of the labeled gluten free items for my husband, our kids that we don't know if they will develop it, and because it makes avoiding wheat in my diet easier(I've cut out other foods, and for my inflammation wheat and sugar are the biggest triggers)
I have Celiacs, diagnosed about ten years ago via biopsy, and think that there are tons of undiagnosed cases out there. My only symptom was severe reflux for which they ordered an exploratory endoscopy. At least with Celiacs if you eliminate gluten from your diet you are fine and although that was even more difficult back when I was diagnosed, I feel really sorry for people with things like Crohn’s and irritable bowel syndrome that have to endure similar symptoms but without any known cause that they can simply eliminate.
@@zaugitude My daughter also has reflux. She had an EGD done back in August that revealed she has EE. The doctor told us its like having excema in the esophagus. We are trying to take dairy out of her diet to see if that is what is causing the EE.
Thank you so much. This video is extremely helpful. I cut gluten a year ago because I was having horrible migraines and I found Dr. Hyman’s video. I cut gluten and now I only have a mild migraine every two months or so instead of a really bad one every week. Thank you Dr. Hyman! I am living a better life now.
I suffered with heartburn for years and on omeprozole, been gluten free now for 3 months, came off omeprozole two months ago, and now my heartburn has almost completely gone,
This conversation was really helpful to me! A year ago I struggled with really bad stomach aches, it never stoped, I couldn't sleep and I was really in constant pain. I went to so many doctors and they never found anything, I was so worried because I thought that I had to just live with this pain! I tried different diets and when I finally tried gluten free diet it suddenly got better. And when I eat just a cookie that contains gluten, I'll get a stomach ache again. So to me its 100% clear that my body struggles with gluten, but the thing is that doctors didn't find any signs of Celiac Disease. And I often read on the internet that gluten sensitivity doesn't exists and that its just in your mind. Some people also don't take me seriously when i say that I can't eat gluten but don't have celiac disease. So I'm really happy to hear you say that this gluten sensitivity truly exists and is real!
I have had migraines for about 15 years now, decided to take gluten out of my diet due to a DR. recommendation....migraines went from 12 to 14 a month to about 6 to 9
Now it’s making more sense. My mom had terrible rheumatoid arthritis. I was diagnosed with celiac 15 yrs ago and am now 76 ! Also have terrible achy joints in my hands . Thank you for this. I also have type 1 diabetes , thyroid disease , now possible Parkinson !! Please get Drs to look at this problem. They really need to understand how it’s all connected .. they don’t listen to us. , they don’t seem to like when we are the ones to give them information. Why aren’t they happy that some of us do our research ??
I've been gluten free and dairy free for a few years now and I have clearer skin, feel more energetic and do not get bloated. Massive benefits and I recommend to anyone :)
I used to experience uncontrollable tiredness and I would doze off in meetings, in company and sometimes when driving. Since going gluten free this has gone completely.
Gluten sensitivity has skyrocketed since the early 2000s when they started spraying glyphosate on conventional and even non gmo grains at harvest. It’s a one two punch.
Gluten is the issue not glyphosate, glyphosate is used much more rigorously on many other crops that contain no gluten naturally and there is no issue, Milo is a great example as it contains no gluten but offers a consumer flour that many people use gluten free. And though it’s been sprayed for harvest have no issues.
Roundup is actually used on a very small percentage of wheat, be it winter or spring wheat. Most likely spring wheat to advance its harvest. But watch out for the legumes that are routinely sprayed with fungicides and then desiccated with Paraquat.. The chickpeas, lentils, etc..... just saying......I’d say if your not eating organic legumes, , forget them.
Have you tried heritage wheat, or heritage grains, like Turkey Red? In the 1800s it was the only variety of wheat grown on the central plains. Since then, wheat has been hybridized to increase the bushels. And I think along the way, given the gluten a greater punch. They say the Turkey wheat is much more easy to digest, and people don’t have problems with it. There aren’t too many growers growing it, so it is pretty expensive, but they say it makes marvelous bread and rolls.
I've been suffering from periodic migraine for over a decade, took out products with gluten a few months ago for other reasons, and haven't had headache since, I'm totally blown away, it never ocurred to me wheat could be the cause..
New subscriber. ! 😍😍 Watching this video on my lunch break. I have been feeling SO MUCH better since I’ve gone gluten , dairy , & soy free ! Highly recommend 🥰
As a practising physician in Medan, North Sumatra, it is a must to follow the many exellent up to date vidieos in TH-cam. We are really indebted to the editors of TH-cam who are really capable selecting videos of high quality and very useful for practising physicians to keep abreast with the new progresses of medicine. Thanks a lot. GBU.
Yes, it's a threat. If I am gluten free, I have no "bathroom" issues. No brain fog, no pain, no horribly painful gas, no bumps on my skin, no migraines, etc.
Unfortunately, I went diagnosed so long,I suffer from serious arthritis and even hear issues from throwing up so much and dehydrated for so long. I'm very happy and dismaid that its being looked at sooner rather then later. God Bless
I think more people need to look at common sense solutions to these health problems . I believe functional medicine is they way to go , prevention and eating a old fashioned whole foods diet. Most of the nation's health problems can be avoided if everyone did this.
You walk the walk and understand what we suffer with, Share Share Share.... so many people can benefit by adjusting their diets, try it. You have everything to gain.
This discussion made me think: Why is dairy inflammatory? Just guessing, most dairy animals eat grains and some of those grains are GMO. Look at how healthy the Maasai are and they drink blood and milk from cattle that are 100% grass fed! No gluten or GMO food for their cows!
Good point if you can support your local regenerative farms. I love going straight to the farms and buying directly. Around 95 percent of my food is local farms. We make ice cream from local raw milk(just the cream), raw honey and raw egg yolks. Love it my one treat.
Thank you for this information. I have heard off and on about many of these issues but you both put it in clear terms and with experience. Would you please consider sharing the source for the studies mentioned regarding gluten and mental/behavioral health and the other listing diseases linked to gluten? Thank you!
Thanks so much for all your valuable knowledge. I suffered from Crohn's for years and decided 2 years ago to eliminate inflammatory foods from my diet and I think processed wheat products were the problem. I am healthy now and have been off all meds for over two years. It's worth trying if you have any autoimmune condition. I primarily eat a organic whole food diet now.
I didn't have crohns, but I was fighting obesity (suffering through low fat high grain, diets, WW, commercial low cal, high glycemic diets, etc). I finally went on a ketogenic diet. Organic, grass fed, pasture raised meats/poultry as much as possible, eliminate industrial seed oils, and intermittent fasting. GAME CHANGER. Fifty pounds melted off. No more aches and pains. No more foot/shoe problems (I work on my feet all day) Inflammation is a thing of the past.
@@milkyway4231 I think getting off anything that might have high glyphosate content is key. Also the processed foods that contain, or are fried in, industrial oils. We only use olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil now, at home. Or animal fats. I have chickens, so we have farm fresh eggs from happy hens!
@@milkyway4231 I got off all inflammatory oils. I use olive, coconut, or butter now. I think the intermittent fasting helped as much as the dietary changes. Drinking Kumbutcha helped as well.
@@milkyway4231 I also take vitamin d3, magnesium citrate, fish oil, and a good multivitamin with a meal. I had other issues clear up as well. I had bad allergies and rosacea and they are gone as well. Good luck !
I have Celiac disease. My tTg was 105 when diagnosed. In a year I brought it down to 36. My house is mixed, I have my own space, silverware, cookware etc. I am not dumping on doctors but I was not armed with correct information for the first 6 months. Having a whole food diet is the only way to go. Certified gluten free foods still have 10 ppm of gulten. I am working on a total transition to whole foods only. I don't really think ppl have a grasp of how hard it if to maintain this diet, gulten is everywhere and in everything. I never had cheated knowingly, I do the best I can, I know some feel that being 1 percent (celiac ) they are dismissed as a fringe disease. I say yes and no. I do feel more strict instructions should be implemented upon diagnosis of celiac disease. Not sure how that is to be done, a traditional western diet is not easy to change. Mindset, education and lifestyle. I do believe exercise plays a huge roll in me feeling better. I run mid distance, mountain bike, and hike. I lost 35 pounds since my diagnosis. I wish everyone good health and wellness.
Since going gluten free, my inflammation has gone down and my Migraines are less frequent and less intense. I had already lost 40lbs, but I lost another 20lbs getting off gluten.
I have the DQ-2 gene .. I’m aware that 30-40% of the entire population of the world has this gene and from studies I’ve read - this gene does not like gluten in your body. So, even if you don’t have Celiac .. you could end up with some other autoimmune disease because of this gene. It’s known that Hashimotos responds well to a gluten free diet. Selective IGA deficiency has responded well to a gluten free diet. MS has as well. When I was 16 - I had blood sugar issues from levels as high as 400 to glucose as low as 30 and I would pass out .. I was severely underweight and on my way to developing type 1 diabetes. the doctor said if I didn’t cut out sugar, my pancreas would wear out. I cut out sugar and felt better (still had stomach issues) but gluten antibodies went on to attack my thyroid, skin, joints, & mental health until I figured out it was gluten. Gluten-Free should not be only* for Celiac. It should be suggested for anyone who has the DQ-2 gene. 1/3 of type 1 diabetics have this gene and if you google “What causes Type1 diabetes” it says the immune system attacks B-cells in the pancreas but they aren’t sure exactly what is attacking it. It’s gluten antibodies ! Something attacking your pancreas IS serious .. I wasn’t diagnosed as Type 1, and it’s possible cutting sugar caused antibodies to gluten to go somewhere else instead of hanging out at my pancreas, but the other health issues I was experiencing were severe and it’s important that *more* doctors recognize the DQ2 genetic component to many autoimmune diseases. I’m glad to see that the ones *here* are ! Thank you
Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍 Perhaps it might matter also how bread, pizza dough etc is made: slow made (hours) vs 30 minute dough with self raising flour etc dumped into the oven. The slow made stuff may be more digestible (interview a food science expert perhaps lol).
@@williamearl1662This is the field of 🥖🍞 food science / food chemistry... Not my area of expertise. However, here's an easy read. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/23/sourdough-bread-gluten-intolerance-food-health-celiac-disease
interview a food scientist, lol, those are the same people who are responsible for all of the processed junk foods on the market shelves for the past few decades. Sorry I don't trust any food scientists.
I became gluten intolerant several years ago. I LOVE normal sliced sandwich bread! But I can no longer eat anything with gluten in it. And Gluten free bread tastes terrible. Like cardboard & usually has the consistency of wood! My family eats normal bread, so once a month or so, I make myself a normal gluten-packed yummy sandwich! Delicious! Just to quiet the craving for a bit. I can tolerate that, but know that that's it now, for another few weeks! other than that, I'm good :D
I get no stomach issues, but my heart rate soars and then leads to extreme difficulty with sleep for about 3 weeks. Anxiety, of course, accompanies the stress of very little sleep.
Even our dogs and cats suffer from the same western diseases as we do from the wheat in their food !! Maybe a light should go on somewhere after all🤔No grain containing gluten for me from now on! Oops now in English🙈 I'm from the Netherlands👋
Humans are obsessed with wheat products unfortunately. Human DNA had not changed in hundreds of thousands of years, but our food supply certainly has just within the past 10-15k years with the invention of agriculture.
I was diagnosed 29 years ago. Very very sick. I have Celiac Disease. The Dr that diagnosed me moved far ,then retired. Present Dr told me not to read about the disease Can’t find a informed Dr to help me since my retired Dr
Ask a celiac ... It is a huge threat to our lives, causing death in my family before we knew. I had never been so ill, my twin ended up in a coma .. and that is how he discovered he is celiac and I am celiac also. No gluten or wheat in my diet has saved me from being sick everyday. I am in Ireland and there is so many celiacs we can't have gluten or wheat.
I threw up everyday for like 5 years and then I don't remember where I got the idea to stop eating gluten but once I did I stopped throwing up. And I did not want to believe it because I didn't want to be somebody who had allergies or restrictions like that but it had to be that because I don't get sick anymore. And when I accidentally eat it now I get very sick.
I found out from eating pasta for dinner and having more for leftover lunch. I didn't catch it the first time it wrecked me but the second time was no coincidence. The bloat and pain made me a believer
I actually have Celiac passed from my Grandmother and once I stopped eating Gluten about back in August my face would not swell up/bloat anymore, face became smaller and my body felt so much better. Iv basically had it since I was a teen or maybe even all my life and never knew it. Its hard when food places that offer gluten free options don't take it seriously. Iv had so many food orders messed up since knowing I had Celiac because the people preparing it don't take it seriously. People that see it as a fad really make me upset. People that don't have a gluten problem shouldn't be seeing this as a good diet. Its dangerous for someone that does not have issues with gluten to stop suddenly eating it.
The media says it’s dangerous because they are paid by big Monsanto research doctors to say it’s dangerous to stop eating wheat .. all about $ because in reality -- most doctors know little to none about nutrition and would not tell you it’s dangerous to cut it from your diet. No one with Celiac should eat at any restaurant that isn’t dedicated to assuring 100% gluten free. In US, companies are allowed to call their products gluten-free if the amount of gluten falls under a certain %... This is why If you have celiac .. you should not take the risk of eating out and if you do-- don’t be angry at the restaurant if they tell you it’s gluten free (that’s what they think), yet you are glutened. It’s 💯 your responsibility not to be glutened. No one else’s.
Hopefully all doctors team up with nutritionist because indeed food is medicine. No more of the quick fix prescriptions that does not heal the actual cause of the illness.
I don’t have a gluten sensitivity or allergy. I can’t eat grains in general. Anything that comes from a grass: tigernuts, cane sugar, oats, wheat, corn, etc., but wheat gives me the worst reactions, blisters on my face, rashes all over my body, gut pain, migraines, etc. And it is always a delayed reaction. Long after you’d think it’d be digested already. 54 hours give or take. And I’d like to know why. I write down every new thing I eat when I go out, just in case. I have no reaction to gluten, however, that I know of, because I’d eaten barley candy accidentally with hardly a reaction.
@@troyelliott9465 I want the test. Everyone should have access to the test. I can read til Im crossed eyed. Its not abt just me or even you. Its about the people. All people.
Not sure about the insurance aspect but Celiacs can be tested for with a blood test or via biopsy of the small intestine, obtained during an endoscopy. The blood test is not 100% conclusive in that a positive result is not a definite diagnosis for Celiacs; an endoscopy would likely be ordered in the case of a positive result.
, I was told I had to eat Gluten for 6 weeks before my annual colonoscopy, to prove I had celiac disease. I said no way, I’d end up in hospital within a few days. If your on a gluten free diet, it won’t show up in a colonoscopy. I don’t know about blood tests. Your body will tell you, believe me. 😉
I decided to go GF after realising I had become addicted to pizza, even though I don't really enjoy it that much. On top of that, intermittent IBS, facial skin rashes, constant fatigue, stiffness etc. After about 3-4 days of GF my mood was very low (dark), anxiety sky high and brain fog was huge. I hadn't realised how powerful the opiod effect of gluten was and how similar going GF would be to coming off a recognised drug. I'm sure these symptoms will pass, but it's not easy. On the flipside, I really don't miss gluten, I'm not craving it, and my night time binge eating triggers have stopped immediately. After just a couple of days almost all food started to taste better too.
I have had bad IBS-D for most of the year and couldn't figure out what was wrong. All of my tests came up negative, so I decided to try an elimination diet. I started with gluten and a week later I was feeling much better. I tested negative for Celiac Disease, so I didn't think giving up gluten would be that beneficial, but I've been gluten free for three months now and am feeling much better now and the diarrhea is mostly gone.
Same!! I also avoided dairy at the same time and am not entirely sure which one was the worst for me... If I give in to my cravings at times its usually because I crave cookies etc, so then I again eat dairy and gluten at the same time. It almost always messes up my gut again, usually for weeks at a time.
@@beautyfromashes14 I've mainly been having eggs, bacon, chicken with mozzarella cheese, salmon, rice, zucchini, cauliflower, etc. For snacks I've mainly been having popcorn, cheese sticks, yogurt with chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, etc. I'm using the keto diet as a guideline, but I'm not concerned about carbohydrates, losing weight or getting into ketosis. It's actually been a lot easier than I expected it to be and I've done it for over 3 months. I should probably add some more vegetables into the mix, but I wanted to keep things as simple as possible since my stomach was in dysbiosis for most of the year.
Jeff Ha- have you thought about FODMAPs, these are usually the triggers for IBS? Your grains contains gluten, they also contain fructans. So when you go gluten free you are also cutting out fructans. Fructans are also found in other foods, so if you are still having symptoms you may still be having other sources in your diet eg garlic, leek, onion, artichokes, peaches, watermelon, banana, dried apricots. So it may be a fructan issue rather than gluten issue.
Bernadette O'Callaghan That’s what makes it difficult.... it could be so many things. A good elimination diet is a lot of work... I personally have noticed a huge different if I focus on eliminating sugar, gluten and dairy. I am aware it could be something else altogether, that I am also avoiding when following my diet, or a combination of several things. Thanks for reminding me (actually, Jeff) of FODMAP’s!
For me, the #1 reason I quit gluten is the instant and crippling brain fog. I went my whole life not understanding why I felt so terrible every morning. Switched to carnivore diet and through trial and error realized it was the gluten. Thank god I figured it out as I now have a new lease on life.
Gluten Free diet is not a fad( for me, at least) if I eat anything with gluten in it, I'll experience bloating, constipation ( sorry) skin rashes, exhaustion, not being able to concentrate or focus, mental fog....So I'm feeling much better without it.
No one is talking about Glucose fructose syrup, damages your liver and all these issues like ibs is because of damage to the liver and fat in the liver.
eating gluten puts me in the hospital its that bad for me . inflames my bowel. my endoscopy put me at stage 4 . complete atrophy , lymphocytes and cobblestoned bowel mucosa . interestingly after my appendix burst and got really sick I became gluten intolerant/allergic
Hmm I have psoriasis as well. Also I know that I have sleeping problems due to gluten, but I haven't been able to go glutenfree for more then a few days a time. Guess I'll give it a better try...
Biggest problem I have with these "symposiums" is that people say what not to eat; but never say what to replace BREAD with (lunch) to keep from starving. Sorry. Salads, day after day, just won't cut it. WHAT DO YOU EAT??
@@ExtraBigMayo it drives me insane! Legit, I got sick this past week and can't get it through to people that it's a lot more painful than an average "upset tummy"
How did they treat you for helicobacter pylori? I had treatment of high dose of antibiotics which was horrible. Now I suspect that I have that again. I want to find an alternative treatment.
Just popping on. I got treated with the antibiotics which was horrible. I've since given up gluten, and most of the time fairy and sugar. The dairy and sugar I can tolerate a bit of. The gluten no way, if I eat it all the symptoms of h plyori come back, its as you know, horrible! I steer well clear of gluten now!
I was just diagnosed about 2 weeks ago by my allergist/immunologist as having high gluten sensitivity...Close to borderline celiac...Need to stay away otherwise I get very, very sick....So, it is a threat to me..
I had to leave my life in USA even the gluten free diet was not working well for me, i also became sensitive to a lot of preservatives, chemicals in the food … I’m living in Europe now with my mom. I even stopped all the arthritis medication, migraines, stomach problems, depression etc…. What’s is wrong with American food… it literally make me sick …
I did a 6 month gluten free experiment and it did nothing beneficial. When I ate it again, I not only did not feel bad, but I felt better. I eat only organic wheat just to be safe. Many of you who think you are gluten intolerant should only test your intolerance by eating organic wheat with no other ingredients, like plain organic wheat pasta or plain organic sourdough bread with just organic wheat flour or rye flour, salt and water and nothing else. Otherwise, you may really be reacting to something else.
I usually eat keto. I went to dim sum last weekend and I developed violent pustules on my cheeks and jaw 😢. They are painful and I try to pop them there is nothing in there. I’m on week two of the healing and had no more outbreaks. Been dealing with this for last 5 years and had no idea I was gluten intolerant. My doctor just did my bloodwork so I’ve only know for two weeks. But yeah now I have to find all the things I can’t eat 😮
Find a respected naturopath doctor with good reviews online. To become a naturopath you need to also go to medical school just like any MD. Sometimes these doctor visits come at a higher price potentially without insurance companies. The cheaper way is to look up a protocol on doing an "elimination diet" or order a blood test from a lab if you want to problem solve on your own/no doctor needed. Many great books out there on these things depending on what issues you might be having. No one size fits all.
My daughter had a TERRIBLE rash,like itchy boils for 13 years from the time she was weaned,I am celiac, but no specialist diagnosed celiac until we decided to try glutenfree, a week later healed up ! Cant eat oatmeal either,now rarely corn. Mainly due in my opinion to Roundup spray on grains and genetically modified grains I also have a HUGE intolerance to guar and other gums used in glutenfree breads.
I was malnourished the first 4 years of my life because I have celiac disease since I was born but the doctor didnt think about doing celiac test, a test that is super easy, its just taking a small small piece if your stomach and see if it has gluten antibodies, yes people with celiac diseas cant digest gluten because we have antibodies for it. Having a gluten-free diet when you dont have celiac disease you should quit that diet and start a healty-organic one because you need gluten to develop yourself
I took out gluten years ago... Just because...i thought...taking it out won't hurt anything. And thankfully, there has been an increase in variety of different gluten free foods over recent years. WOW what a difference. I KNOW how much better I feel when I stay away from that junk.... Leave alone other processed carbs. Ha. BUT.... I did it on my own. Much better. Yikes.
Gluten free is not a fad. Everytime I have my period I want some sorta chocolate or something and I hate going to the bakery and hate everyone that can have any of that☹️
Only chocolate I think is safe is 90-95% dark chocolate. It's a potent antioxidant that can fight free radicals damage and inflammation caused by gluten. Sure it's high in oxalates but our liver makes oxalic acid and can tolerate up to a certain amount daily. Have you considered supplementing with the essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids? Dr Joel Wallach says that when people get the muchies, especially pregnant & menstruating women, it's because the body is looking for and needs nutrients that are being depleted more quickly by the body.
I can’t eat chocolate because the manufacturers say it may contain Gluten, due to cross contamination. I have had chocolate and been glutened. There’s a few chocolate bars I can eat like, Turkish delight, is one I can eat, I check all the labels, it’s tiring 🤔
I've been gluten-free for many years - AND - have MTHFR issues - I have some issues about FOLATE - Do you think that gluten intolerance has been confused with Folic Acid intolerance in 'fortified' grains? Last I read about 60% of us in the U.S. have issues with their MTHFR gene and I'm wondering if this is getting . . . . confused?
I've been abroad and eaten pasta and pizza which did not give me most gluten intolerance symptoms so it must be the stuff they spray on crops in certain countries
Does any one else have mouth ulcers if you become accidentally glutened, I get ulcers on my tongue, and under my tongue. I’ve been celiac for 15 years, I was 62 🤷♀️
Dairy should be avoided too. Casein can mimic gluten. The casein protein is also very structurally similar to gluten, so the same molecular mimicry that triggers an attack when you eat gluten can also occur when you eat casein from dairy, initiating an autoimmune response. In fact, roughly 50% of those with gluten intolerance are casein intolerant as well. Neurological effects of gluten intolerance - The best-characterized neurologic complication related to gluten sensitivity is ataxia, now termed “gluten ataxia”. Gluten ataxia is characterized by positive anti-gliadin antibodies, changes in the cerebellum, and ataxic symptoms including upper or lower limb ataxia, gait ataxia, and dysarthria. What does gluten do to your brain? The University of Otago researchers hypothesized that gluten-induced hypothalamic inflammation can lead to brain damage, body weight gain, and impaired blood glucose regulation. In turn, these conditions may increase the risk of impaired memory function.
They talk about how its a very serious problem and gluten sensitivity whether from celiac or not is not a fad. Its a serious problem we are facing in this country.
I have Celiacs and although we started out completely eliminating gluten containing items from the house, my wife has a few things that she keeps in a separate area and takes cares not to prepare them anywhere around something that I will be eating. That said, we do not have any flours , etc. that contain gluten. How do you think you are being exposed? Besides directly, the toaster and few other things, you should be able to separate things. Talk to your husband and explain to him that he does not have to stop eating food that contains gluten, but just take some precautions., etc., to help you feel healthier.
Ah man, but I bought a big bag of gluten free oats! 😭 I used to eat oatmeal like four times a week but had to stop several months ago. I’ve had an ear infection for a whole year now and I don’t know what is causing it.
Often people don't know that ingredients like maltodexatrin are grown on corn. Corn contains zein which is a glutenous protein. Grain free is true Gluten Free.
I’ve gone to Europe and can eat anything I want there. A LOT of others have had the same experience. That tells me definitively that it’s an American problem. I agree that it’s all about money.
I’m swedish, I feel much better since I have a LCHF and gluten free, eco-friendly diet. And in Europe there are many countries with different food cultures. 🌸
Rice, particularly brown rice, is healthy for some people, but maybe not for everybody, like a lot of things. Simply separating starches (whether wheat pasta, rice, potatoes, and so on) and proteins (meat, fish, eggs, and so on) at the same meal is one common way to optimize digestion. This method is called "food combining", and it goes back to the works of Drs. William Howard Hay and Herbert Shelton. Don't believe me. Check it out for yourself.

Since going gluten free I’m no longer chronically depressed, my digestive issues are gone, my rashes are healed. This is certainly not a fad. I wish people would take this seriously.
Agreed! I take a lot of probiotic to keep the long lasting affects from years of not knowing. God Bless
That's wonderful Denise
But it would cut into the medical system's profits.
Get your liver checked for fat.
I also don't suffer from anemia that doesn't respond to iron supplementation anymore.
And while that's great, I'm even more glad I don't suffer from blistering, intensely itchy rashes that last for weeks - as long as I stay away from gluten...
I am 89 years old, still practising as a primary care physician in Medan, Indonesia. I would like to thank you for your exellent, up to date videos in TH-cam. It is really an awesome mindblowing experience for me to listen about functional medicine and autoimmune diseases. It is very kind and compassionate of you to widespread your experience and knowledge for every doctor who is willing to follow you in TH-cam.
Many old school doctors are so ignorant about gluten.
It’s encouraging that some physicians are willing to continue to learn. Thank you
I would love to have an old-school doctor like you.
I was just diagnosed with celiacs at age 71. Anemia, GI symptoms, osteopenia, exhaustion were just some of my symptoms. I feel totally healthy after 8 months totally GF. To me, it’s a miracle and I have not once knowingly cheated. One time I was exposed eating out and was sick for three days. This is real!
I didn't need a test to determine that I feel much better since eliminating all gluten from my diet.
Yes, simply stop eating it, effects are fast
even if you feel better you should go see a doctor because deleting gluten of your diet when you can absorb it its bad for your health as you need the gluten to develop the brain and more stuff
@@Lucia-us5sj lol first in my life I hear we need gluten to develop the brain , too funny mr or ms Soy
@@Drivenwithambition I mixed information (we celiacs are the ones who may have neurological problems if we eat gluten) but I don't think diabetes 2 or increasing, more, the risk of heart disease it's a cool thing intermountainhealthcare.org/blogs/topics/live-well/2017/11/beware-of-avoiding-gluten-if-you-dont-have-celiac-disease/ www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/gluten/
most people are so addicted to gluten that they are not able to stop until they have a diagnosis of some sort or at least have it on paper that gluten is inpackning their health conditions…
I had the all day long loose stools up to 25 in a day, trapped in the house if I ate. It took awhile for it to get that bad. The real problems started when I moved back to the US after having lived in Germany for three years. Glyphosate was also approved for use as a crop desiccant in the early 2000s, which is when my problems began. Fast forward to 2011 when the day I had 25 loose poops was the day I decided to go gluten free. The digestive issues dramatically ceased within two days. I don’t eat much grain now. I use garbanzo flour, teff and gf oat flour to make my bread which is also full of pumpkin seeds, flax seeds. And for pasta I use red lentil pasta only. So though I never got an official test. I gave up the gluten it worked, so why bother. I fixed my gut with a very restrictive diet, bone broth ( and I was a vegetarian, but I used this anyway to help heal my gut.
Now I eat two meals a day, a very high protein breakfast and a lighter dunch around 2-3 pm full of lots of leafy greens. And vegetables probably about 7 servings of Vegas. I don’t eat dinner. I sleep much better, cured the acid reflux this way etc.
My dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was 60, my daughter was diagnosed at 5, it can show up at anytime in life. It can be difficult to deal with when people don't take it seriously.
My husband has Celiac's, his brother may be developing it, his grandmother had it. I'm in my early 20's but just like my mom pregnancy has revealed rheumatoid arthritis. What's a big trigger? Wheat. I can eat gluten, but I'm so thankful for all of the labeled gluten free items for my husband, our kids that we don't know if they will develop it, and because it makes avoiding wheat in my diet easier(I've cut out other foods, and for my inflammation wheat and sugar are the biggest triggers)
@@austenmidland7034 hope you and your family are doing well.
I have Celiacs, diagnosed about ten years ago via biopsy, and think that there are tons of undiagnosed cases out there. My only symptom was severe reflux for which they ordered an exploratory endoscopy. At least with Celiacs if you eliminate gluten from your diet you are fine and although that was even more difficult back when I was diagnosed, I feel really sorry for people with things like Crohn’s and irritable bowel syndrome that have to endure similar symptoms but without any known cause that they can simply eliminate.
@@zaugitude My daughter also has reflux. She had an EGD done back in August that revealed she has EE. The doctor told us its like having excema in the esophagus. We are trying to take dairy out of her diet to see if that is what is causing the EE.
Thank you so much. This video is extremely helpful. I cut gluten a year ago because I was having horrible migraines and I found Dr. Hyman’s video. I cut gluten and now I only have a mild migraine every two months or so instead of a really bad one every week. Thank you Dr. Hyman! I am living a better life now.
I suffered with heartburn for years and on omeprozole, been gluten free now for 3 months, came off omeprozole two months ago, and now my heartburn has almost completely gone,
This conversation was really helpful to me! A year ago I struggled with really bad stomach aches, it never stoped, I couldn't sleep and I was really in constant pain. I went to so many doctors and they never found anything, I was so worried because I thought that I had to just live with this pain! I tried different diets and when I finally tried gluten free diet it suddenly got better. And when I eat just a cookie that contains gluten, I'll get a stomach ache again. So to me its 100% clear that my body struggles with gluten, but the thing is that doctors didn't find any signs of Celiac Disease. And I often read on the internet that gluten sensitivity doesn't exists and that its just in your mind. Some people also don't take me seriously when i say that I can't eat gluten but don't have celiac disease. So I'm really happy to hear you say that this gluten sensitivity truly exists and is real!
I have had migraines for about 15 years now, decided to take gluten out of my diet due to a DR. recommendation....migraines went from 12 to 14 a month to about 6 to 9
glad to hear that..i had migraines also..removing dairy, sugar and nightshades also helped..i rarely get migraines or tension headaches anymore
Fantastic news! Also you r lucky 2 have a dr recommend this! V forward-thinking. Was it mainstream medicine?
Sugar and caffeine
Add magnesium and other electrolytes to that and you should be able to eliminate the migraines. Look out for food sensitivities too.
Now it’s making more sense. My mom had terrible rheumatoid arthritis. I was diagnosed with celiac 15 yrs ago and am now 76 ! Also have terrible achy joints in my hands . Thank you for this. I also have type 1 diabetes , thyroid disease , now possible Parkinson !! Please get Drs to look at this problem. They really need to understand how it’s all connected .. they don’t listen to us. , they don’t seem to like when we are the ones to give them information. Why aren’t they happy that some of us do our research ??
I've been gluten free and dairy free for a few years now and I have clearer skin, feel more energetic and do not get bloated. Massive benefits and I recommend to anyone :)
I used to experience uncontrollable tiredness and I would doze off in meetings, in company and sometimes when driving. Since going gluten free this has gone completely.
@@REL602 No
Gluten sensitivity has skyrocketed since the early 2000s when they started spraying glyphosate on conventional and even non gmo grains at harvest. It’s a one two punch.
They started to use it in the 70's - Good old Roundup
Gluten sensitivity likely coincides with the generational changes to microbiome diversity and richness as well
Gluten is the issue not glyphosate, glyphosate is used much more rigorously on many other crops that contain no gluten naturally and there is no issue, Milo is a great example as it contains no gluten but offers a consumer flour that many people use gluten free. And though it’s been sprayed for harvest have no issues.
Roundup is actually used on a very small percentage of wheat, be it winter or spring wheat. Most likely spring wheat to advance its harvest. But watch out for the legumes that are routinely sprayed with fungicides and then desiccated with Paraquat.. The chickpeas, lentils, etc..... just saying......I’d say if your not eating organic legumes, , forget them.
Have you tried heritage wheat, or heritage grains, like Turkey Red? In the 1800s it was the only variety of wheat grown on the central plains. Since then, wheat has been hybridized to increase the bushels. And I think along the way, given the gluten a greater punch. They say the Turkey wheat is much more easy to digest, and people don’t have problems with it. There aren’t too many growers growing it, so it is pretty expensive, but they say it makes marvelous bread and rolls.
I've been suffering from periodic migraine for over a decade, took out products with gluten a few months ago for other reasons, and haven't had headache since, I'm totally blown away, it never ocurred to me wheat could be the cause..
New subscriber. ! 😍😍 Watching this video on my lunch break. I have been feeling SO MUCH better since I’ve gone gluten , dairy , & soy free ! Highly recommend 🥰
What do you eat? How do you put calcium in your body? I read a few times that people who exclude dairy from their diet develop theroid problems.
As a practising physician in Medan, North Sumatra, it is a must to follow the many exellent up to date vidieos in TH-cam. We are really indebted to the editors of TH-cam who are really capable selecting videos of high quality and very useful for practising physicians to keep abreast with the new progresses of medicine. Thanks a lot. GBU.
Yes, it's a threat. If I am gluten free, I have no "bathroom" issues. No brain fog, no pain, no horribly painful gas, no bumps on my skin, no migraines, etc.
Unfortunately, I went diagnosed so long,I suffer from serious arthritis and even hear issues from throwing up so much and dehydrated for so long. I'm very happy and dismaid that its being looked at sooner rather then later. God Bless
I think more people need to look at common sense solutions to these health problems . I believe functional medicine is they way to go , prevention and eating a old fashioned whole foods diet. Most of the nation's health problems can be avoided if everyone did this.
You walk the walk and understand what we suffer with, Share Share Share.... so many people can benefit by adjusting their diets, try it. You have everything to gain.
This discussion made me think: Why is dairy inflammatory? Just guessing, most dairy animals eat grains and some of those grains are GMO. Look at how healthy the Maasai are and they drink blood and milk from cattle that are 100% grass fed! No gluten or GMO food for their cows!
Good point if you can support your local regenerative farms.
I love going straight to the farms and buying directly.
Around 95 percent of my food is local farms. We make ice cream from local raw milk(just the cream), raw honey and raw egg yolks. Love it my one treat.
We humans weren't meant to eat cow's milk, most ppl are sensitive to milk and don't know it
@@wallbears8903 Good for you👍🏽
I love milk & feel guilty bcuz of it. Maybe grass fed milk would be ok.
Absolutely correct! Unfortunately, the cattle industry has done its best to crowd out our local farmers. The beef is even contaminated at this point.
As someone with Celiac this was fascinating to watch.... thank you
Thank you for this information. I have heard off and on about many of these issues but you both put it in clear terms and with experience. Would you please consider sharing the source for the studies mentioned regarding gluten and mental/behavioral health and the other listing diseases linked to gluten? Thank you!
Thanks so much for all your valuable knowledge. I suffered from Crohn's for years and decided 2 years ago to eliminate inflammatory foods from my diet and I think processed wheat products were the problem. I am healthy now and have been off all meds for over two years. It's worth trying if you have any autoimmune condition. I primarily eat a organic whole food diet now.
Wow, that's awesome! Hope it stays this way for you. What kinds of inflammatory foods besides wheat did you eliminate?
I didn't have crohns, but I was fighting obesity (suffering through low fat high grain, diets, WW, commercial low cal, high glycemic diets, etc).
I finally went on a ketogenic diet. Organic, grass fed, pasture raised meats/poultry as much as possible, eliminate industrial seed oils, and intermittent fasting.
GAME CHANGER.
Fifty pounds melted off. No more aches and pains. No more foot/shoe problems (I work on my feet all day) Inflammation is a thing of the past.
@@milkyway4231 I think getting off anything that might have high glyphosate content is key. Also the processed foods that contain, or are fried in, industrial oils. We only use olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil now, at home. Or animal fats. I have chickens, so we have farm fresh eggs from happy hens!
@@milkyway4231 I got off all inflammatory oils. I use olive, coconut, or butter now. I think the intermittent fasting helped as much as the dietary changes. Drinking Kumbutcha helped as well.
@@milkyway4231 I also take vitamin d3, magnesium citrate, fish oil, and a good multivitamin with a meal. I had other issues clear up as well. I had bad allergies and rosacea and they are gone as well. Good luck !
I have Celiac disease. My tTg was 105 when diagnosed. In a year I brought it down to 36. My house is mixed, I have my own space, silverware, cookware etc. I am not dumping on doctors but I was not armed with correct information for the first 6 months. Having a whole food diet is the only way to go. Certified gluten free foods still have 10 ppm of gulten. I am working on a total transition to whole foods only. I don't really think ppl have a grasp of how hard it if to maintain this diet, gulten is everywhere and in everything. I never had cheated knowingly, I do the best I can, I know some feel that being 1 percent (celiac ) they are dismissed as a fringe disease. I say yes and no. I do feel more strict instructions should be implemented upon diagnosis of celiac disease. Not sure how that is to be done, a traditional western diet is not easy to change. Mindset, education and lifestyle. I do believe exercise plays a huge roll in me feeling better. I run mid distance, mountain bike, and hike. I lost 35 pounds since my diagnosis. I wish everyone good health and wellness.
Since going gluten free, my inflammation has gone down and my Migraines are less frequent and less intense. I had already lost 40lbs, but I lost another 20lbs getting off gluten.
I have the DQ-2 gene .. I’m aware that 30-40% of the entire population of the world has this gene and from studies I’ve read - this gene does not like gluten in your body. So, even if you don’t have Celiac .. you could end up with some other autoimmune disease because of this gene. It’s known that Hashimotos responds well to a gluten free diet.
Selective IGA deficiency has responded well to a gluten free diet. MS has as well.
When I was 16 - I had blood sugar issues from levels as high as 400 to glucose as low as 30 and I would pass out .. I was severely underweight and on my way to developing type 1 diabetes. the doctor said if I didn’t cut out sugar, my pancreas would wear out. I cut out sugar and felt better (still had stomach issues)
but gluten antibodies went on to attack my thyroid, skin, joints, & mental health until I figured out it was gluten.
Gluten-Free should not be only* for Celiac. It should be suggested for anyone who has the DQ-2 gene. 1/3 of type 1 diabetics have this gene and if you google “What causes Type1 diabetes” it says the immune system attacks B-cells in the pancreas but they aren’t sure exactly what is attacking it.
It’s gluten antibodies !
Something attacking your pancreas IS serious .. I wasn’t diagnosed as Type 1, and it’s possible cutting sugar caused antibodies to gluten to go somewhere else instead of hanging out at my pancreas, but the other health issues I was experiencing were severe and it’s important that *more* doctors recognize the DQ2 genetic component to many autoimmune diseases.
I’m glad to see that the ones *here* are ! Thank you
My take from this vid is that it seems Capitalism's quest for profits is making us sick.
Exactly,unfortunately
😢 yes, you are so right😊
Globalist, special interest groups, politicians, etc. That is why the establishment fears RFK Jr x Trump.
Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍 Perhaps it might matter also how bread, pizza dough etc is made: slow made (hours) vs 30 minute dough with self raising flour etc dumped into the oven. The slow made stuff may be more digestible (interview a food science expert perhaps lol).
That is very interesting. Is there evidence to support that, I would like to know?

I'm new to the community, have you touched on Graves disease? If not I would be interested in hearing your take on it and on treatment .
I fall on the spectrum. Been gf for about 2 years. Greatly improved my digestion.
I became gluten intolerant several years ago. I LOVE normal sliced sandwich bread! But I can no longer eat anything with gluten in it. And Gluten free bread tastes terrible. Like cardboard & usually has the consistency of wood! My family eats normal bread, so once a month or so, I make myself a normal gluten-packed yummy sandwich! Delicious! Just to quiet the craving for a bit. I can tolerate that, but know that that's it now, for another few weeks! other than that, I'm good :D
I get no stomach issues, but my heart rate soars and then leads to extreme difficulty with sleep for about 3 weeks. Anxiety, of course, accompanies the stress of very little sleep.
Even our dogs and cats suffer from the same western diseases as we do from the wheat in their food !! Maybe a light should go on somewhere after all🤔No grain containing gluten for me from now on! Oops now in English🙈 I'm from the Netherlands👋
Humans are obsessed with wheat products unfortunately. Human DNA had not changed in hundreds of thousands of years, but our food supply certainly has just within the past 10-15k years with the invention of agriculture.
Exactly! I definitely feed my kitten grain free clean diet
I was diagnosed 29 years ago. Very very sick. I have Celiac Disease. The Dr that diagnosed me moved far ,then retired. Present Dr told me not to read about the disease Can’t find a informed Dr to help me since my retired Dr
Ask a celiac ... It is a huge threat to our lives, causing death in my family before we knew. I had never been so ill, my twin ended up in a coma .. and that is how he discovered he is celiac and I am celiac also.
No gluten or wheat in my diet has saved me from being sick everyday. I am in Ireland and there is so many celiacs we can't have gluten or wheat.
Probably from the ales and beers as well
@@louisewilken6883 Yes, there is wheat in beer and ale so we can't drink it, luckily I never drank it.
I threw up everyday for like 5 years and then I don't remember where I got the idea to stop eating gluten but once I did I stopped throwing up. And I did not want to believe it because I didn't want to be somebody who had allergies or restrictions like that but it had to be that because I don't get sick anymore. And when I accidentally eat it now I get very sick.
I was so ill it really upset my bowels and diary free the diet has changed my life
I found out from eating pasta for dinner and having more for leftover lunch. I didn't catch it the first time it wrecked me but the second time was no coincidence. The bloat and pain made me a believer
I actually have Celiac passed from my Grandmother and once I stopped eating Gluten about back in August my face would not swell up/bloat anymore, face became smaller and my body felt so much better. Iv basically had it since I was a teen or maybe even all my life and never knew it. Its hard when food places that offer gluten free options don't take it seriously. Iv had so many food orders messed up since knowing I had Celiac because the people preparing it don't take it seriously. People that see it as a fad really make me upset. People that don't have a gluten problem shouldn't be seeing this as a good diet. Its dangerous for someone that does not have issues with gluten to stop suddenly eating it.
As a fellow Celiacs sufferer I agree with almost everything you said, but why would it be dangerous for someone to stop eating gluten?
The media says it’s dangerous because they are paid by big Monsanto research doctors to say it’s dangerous to stop eating wheat .. all about $ because in reality -- most doctors know little to none about nutrition and would not tell you it’s dangerous to cut it from your diet.
No one with Celiac should eat at any restaurant that isn’t dedicated to assuring 100% gluten free. In US, companies are allowed to call their products gluten-free if the amount of gluten falls under a certain %... This is why If you have celiac .. you should not take the risk of eating out and if you do-- don’t be angry at the restaurant if they tell you it’s gluten free (that’s what they think), yet you are glutened.
It’s 💯 your responsibility not to be glutened. No one else’s.
😊 fix your own food 😮 do not ordered from nower 😊
Hopefully all doctors team up with nutritionist because indeed food is medicine. No more of the quick fix prescriptions that does not heal the actual cause of the illness.
I don’t have a gluten sensitivity or allergy. I can’t eat grains in general. Anything that comes from a grass: tigernuts, cane sugar, oats, wheat, corn, etc., but wheat gives me the worst reactions, blisters on my face, rashes all over my body, gut pain, migraines, etc. And it is always a delayed reaction. Long after you’d think it’d be digested already. 54 hours give or take. And I’d like to know why. I write down every new thing I eat when I go out, just in case. I have no reaction to gluten, however, that I know of, because I’d eaten barley candy accidentally with hardly a reaction.
I like to have my house hold to go 100% gluten free. I love to see either one of these doctors.
I love all your podcasts Mr. Hayman!!! 🤗 U open my eyes, thank you!!! 🙏❤️
How do u get tested. Is there free testing available for low income folks. Or folks with no insurance? Accessibility is key.
Adjust your diet, do some reading, if you start feeling different , keep it going.
@@troyelliott9465 I want the test. Everyone should have access to the test. I can read til Im crossed eyed. Its not abt just me or even you. Its about the people. All people.
Not sure about the insurance aspect but Celiacs can be tested for with a blood test or via biopsy of the small intestine, obtained during an endoscopy. The blood test is not 100% conclusive in that a positive result is not a definite diagnosis for Celiacs; an endoscopy would likely be ordered in the case of a positive result.
, I was told I had to eat Gluten for 6 weeks before my annual colonoscopy, to prove I had celiac disease. I said no way, I’d end up in hospital within a few days. If your on a gluten free diet, it won’t show up in a colonoscopy. I don’t know about blood tests. Your body will tell you, believe me. 😉
I did an experiment bringing it back after a while without it and I felt awful, so tired and forgetful
I do that too. Take something out for a month and then bring it slowly back.
I decided to go GF after realising I had become addicted to pizza, even though I don't really enjoy it that much. On top of that, intermittent IBS, facial skin rashes, constant fatigue, stiffness etc.
After about 3-4 days of GF my mood was very low (dark), anxiety sky high and brain fog was huge. I hadn't realised how powerful the opiod effect of gluten was and how similar going GF would be to coming off a recognised drug. I'm sure these symptoms will pass, but it's not easy.
On the flipside, I really don't miss gluten, I'm not craving it, and my night time binge eating triggers have stopped immediately. After just a couple of days almost all food started to taste better too.
Fascinating talk. So much to learn from. Thanks!
I have had bad IBS-D for most of the year and couldn't figure out what was wrong. All of my tests came up negative, so I decided to try an elimination diet. I started with gluten and a week later I was feeling much better. I tested negative for Celiac Disease, so I didn't think giving up gluten would be that beneficial, but I've been gluten free for three months now and am feeling much better now and the diarrhea is mostly gone.
What does your diet look like? What do you eat?
Same!! I also avoided dairy at the same time and am not entirely sure which one was the worst for me... If I give in to my cravings at times its usually because I crave cookies etc, so then I again eat dairy and gluten at the same time. It almost always messes up my gut again, usually for weeks at a time.
@@beautyfromashes14 I've mainly been having eggs, bacon, chicken with mozzarella cheese, salmon, rice, zucchini, cauliflower, etc. For snacks I've mainly been having popcorn, cheese sticks, yogurt with chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, etc. I'm using the keto diet as a guideline, but I'm not concerned about carbohydrates, losing weight or getting into ketosis. It's actually been a lot easier than I expected it to be and I've done it for over 3 months. I should probably add some more vegetables into the mix, but I wanted to keep things as simple as possible since my stomach was in dysbiosis for most of the year.
Jeff Ha- have you thought about FODMAPs, these are usually the triggers for IBS? Your grains contains gluten, they also contain fructans. So when you go gluten free you are also cutting out fructans. Fructans are also found in other foods, so if you are still having symptoms you may still be having other sources in your diet eg garlic, leek, onion, artichokes, peaches, watermelon, banana, dried apricots. So it may be a fructan issue rather than gluten issue.
Bernadette O'Callaghan That’s what makes it difficult.... it could be so many things. A good elimination diet is a lot of work... I personally have noticed a huge different if I focus on eliminating sugar, gluten and dairy. I am aware it could be something else altogether, that I am also avoiding when following my diet, or a combination of several things. Thanks for reminding me (actually, Jeff) of FODMAP’s!
Gluten intolerance is also widespread in Europe, many people suffer and there are many gluten free foods and even beer in the shops. .
For me, the #1 reason I quit gluten is the instant and crippling brain fog. I went my whole life not understanding why I felt so terrible every morning. Switched to carnivore diet and through trial and error realized it was the gluten. Thank god I figured it out as I now have a new lease on life.
Can you give us a list of all of the tests you talked about in this episode?
Gluten Free diet is not a fad( for me, at least) if I eat anything with gluten in it, I'll experience bloating, constipation ( sorry) skin rashes, exhaustion, not being able to concentrate or focus, mental fog....So I'm feeling much better without it.
No one is talking about Glucose fructose syrup, damages your liver and all these issues like ibs is because of damage to the liver and fat in the liver.
eating gluten puts me in the hospital its that bad for me . inflames my bowel.
my endoscopy put me at stage 4 . complete atrophy , lymphocytes and cobblestoned bowel mucosa . interestingly after my appendix burst and got really sick I became gluten intolerant/allergic
wow,this video has changed my life,thank you so much.
Going gluten free cured my psoriasis. If I even take one taste of a product w gluten, it will come back a little
Hmm I have psoriasis as well. Also I know that I have sleeping problems due to gluten, but I haven't been able to go glutenfree for more then a few days a time. Guess I'll give it a better try...
What else did you eliminate to clear it ?
I am Italian.... I have been so sick with wheat in Italy, Europe and Australia.... Got diagnosed Sncd just 4 years ago.

Yes and it needs to be taken seriously, I never cheat, but I’ve been glutened when eating out.
I had to leave my life in USA even the gluten free diet was not working well for me, i also became sensitive to a lot of preservatives, chemicals in the food … I’m living in Europe now with my mom. I even stopped all the arthritis medication, migraines, stomach problems, depression etc…. What’s is wrong with American food… it literally make me sick …
I did a 6 month gluten free experiment and it did nothing beneficial. When I ate it again, I not only did not feel bad, but I felt better. I eat only organic wheat just to be safe.
Many of you who think you are gluten intolerant should only test your intolerance by eating organic wheat with no other ingredients, like plain organic wheat pasta or plain organic sourdough bread with just organic wheat flour or rye flour, salt and water and nothing else. Otherwise, you may really be reacting to something else.
I usually eat keto. I went to dim sum last weekend and I developed violent pustules on my cheeks and jaw 😢. They are painful and I try to pop them there is nothing in there. I’m on week two of the healing and had no more outbreaks. Been dealing with this for last 5 years and had no idea I was gluten intolerant. My doctor just did my bloodwork so I’ve only know for two weeks. But yeah now I have to find all the things I can’t eat 😮
This is all I have learned in the past 10 years experimenting on myself. Thank you for sharing!
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease when I was 5 years old
how are u now? my daughter is 5 and just got diagnosed with celiac aswell
Christa I I am 68 years old now and still suffering from Celiac! I have a very strict Gluten free diet!
@@christal9093 I am 68 years old now and still suffering from Celiac! I have a very strict Gluten free diet!
I’m truly sorry for you, that’s very hard on a child at that age being diagnosed.😞
QUESTION: what test should I ask my doctor for if I suspect food intolerances are affecting my health?
Find a respected naturopath doctor with good reviews online. To become a naturopath you need to also go to medical school just like any MD. Sometimes these doctor visits come at a higher price potentially without insurance companies. The cheaper way is to look up a protocol on doing an "elimination diet" or order a blood test from a lab if you want to problem solve on your own/no doctor needed. Many great books out there on these things depending on what issues you might be having. No one size fits all.
I feel a lot better since went gluten free and now I have more energy I sleep better
My daughter had a TERRIBLE rash,like itchy boils for 13 years from the time she was weaned,I am celiac, but no specialist diagnosed celiac until we decided to try glutenfree, a week later healed up ! Cant eat oatmeal either,now rarely corn. Mainly due in my opinion to Roundup spray on grains and genetically modified grains I also have a HUGE intolerance to guar and other gums used in glutenfree breads.
Cries in Celiac Disease
I was malnourished the first 4 years of my life because I have celiac disease since I was born but the doctor didnt think about doing celiac test, a test that is super easy, its just taking a small small piece if your stomach and see if it has gluten antibodies, yes people with celiac diseas cant digest gluten because we have antibodies for it. Having a gluten-free diet when you dont have celiac disease you should quit that diet and start a healty-organic one because you need gluten to develop yourself
I took out gluten years ago... Just because...i thought...taking it out won't hurt anything. And thankfully, there has been an increase in variety of different gluten free foods over recent years. WOW what a difference. I KNOW how much better I feel when I stay away from that junk.... Leave alone other processed carbs. Ha. BUT.... I did it on my own. Much better. Yikes.
Can you share the research with us?
Gluten free is not a fad. Everytime I have my period I want some sorta chocolate or something and I hate going to the bakery and hate everyone that can have any of that☹️
Only chocolate I think is safe is 90-95% dark chocolate. It's a potent antioxidant that can fight free radicals damage and inflammation caused by gluten. Sure it's high in oxalates but our liver makes oxalic acid and can tolerate up to a certain amount daily. Have you considered supplementing with the essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids? Dr Joel Wallach says that when people get the muchies, especially pregnant & menstruating women, it's because the body is looking for and needs nutrients that are being depleted more quickly by the body.
Chocolate isn't gluten
@@emh8861 I know that. Just saying finding a baked chocolate isn’t so always easy to find was what I was referring to
I can’t eat chocolate because the manufacturers say it may contain Gluten, due to cross contamination. I have had chocolate and been glutened. There’s a few chocolate bars I can eat like, Turkish delight, is one I can eat, I check all the labels, it’s tiring 🤔
@@JYAN2852But doesn't the risks from sugar outweigh the benefit from the chocolate?
What was the name of the test for the various gluten sensitivity proteins?
I've been gluten-free for many years - AND - have MTHFR issues - I have some issues about FOLATE - Do you think that gluten intolerance has been confused with Folic Acid intolerance in 'fortified' grains? Last I read about 60% of us in the U.S. have issues with their MTHFR gene and I'm wondering if this is getting . . . . confused?
I've been abroad and eaten pasta and pizza which did not give me most gluten intolerance symptoms so it must be the stuff they spray on crops in certain countries
Does any one else have mouth ulcers if you become accidentally glutened, I get ulcers on my tongue, and under my tongue. I’ve been celiac for 15 years, I was 62 🤷♀️
Hi I'm from the UK and I think I realy need help wats the best way to get intouch with dr hyman
Dairy should be avoided too. Casein can mimic gluten. The casein protein is also very structurally similar to gluten, so the same molecular mimicry that triggers an attack when you eat gluten can also occur when you eat casein from dairy, initiating an autoimmune response. In fact, roughly 50% of those with gluten intolerance are casein intolerant as well.
Neurological effects of gluten intolerance -
The best-characterized neurologic complication related to gluten sensitivity is ataxia, now termed “gluten ataxia”. Gluten ataxia is characterized by positive anti-gliadin antibodies, changes in the cerebellum, and ataxic symptoms including upper or lower limb ataxia, gait ataxia, and dysarthria.
What does gluten do to your brain?
The University of Otago researchers hypothesized that gluten-induced hypothalamic inflammation can lead to brain damage, body weight gain, and impaired blood glucose regulation. In turn, these conditions may increase the risk of impaired memory function.
Should i cut legumes and nightshades out for a while as well in the elimonation period? Seeing some mixed advice for this ☺️
Yes
@@chrisbateman54 Why?
@@whodidit99 they both are common irritations to the gut. Also lots of lectins other than gluten found in them
My celiac disease is screaming lmfao
Haha same. This is not a discussion for me!!
We celiac knows gluten is our enemy it’s definitely not a fad for us
They talk about how its a very serious problem and gluten sensitivity whether from celiac or not is not a fad. Its a serious problem we are facing in this country.
My husband will never give up gluten. So I know I'm being exposed. I don't know what to do.
I have Celiacs and although we started out completely eliminating gluten containing items from the house, my wife has a few things that she keeps in a separate area and takes cares not to prepare them anywhere around something that I will be eating. That said, we do not have any flours , etc. that contain gluten.
How do you think you are being exposed? Besides directly, the toaster and few other things, you should be able to separate things.
Talk to your husband and explain to him that he does not have to stop eating food that contains gluten, but just take some precautions., etc., to help you feel healthier.
Well it is DELICIOUS!
Men usually find it very difficult to stop gluten…
What is your opinion on GF Oat Fiber that has the protein removed?
Waite a sec... Dr hyman mention oat as gluten? I was eating it coz i have read its glutenfree if its not poluted with other gluten flours
As a Sncd which parameter should doctors check ? I do also have Hashimoto, IBS.....
What are the ways of cross contamination if you are on strict gf diet?
Ah man, but I bought a big bag of gluten free oats! 😭 I used to eat oatmeal like four times a week but had to stop several months ago. I’ve had an ear infection for a whole year now and I don’t know what is causing it.
Oats contain gluten, and I miss them.😞
Gluten is another name for Lectins. See Dr. Steven R. Gundry's. Videoed.
No disrespect I intended to Dr. Hyman.
Often people don't know that ingredients like maltodexatrin are grown on corn. Corn contains zein which is a glutenous protein. Grain free is true Gluten Free.
I am a coeliac it is certainly not a fad
I’ve gone to Europe and can eat anything I want there. A LOT of others have had the same experience. That tells me definitively that it’s an American problem. I agree that it’s all about money.
I’m swedish, I feel much better since I have a LCHF and gluten free, eco-friendly diet. And in Europe there are many countries with different food cultures. 🌸
I am sensitief for Dairy
Do you think that you can have it
And no gluten sensitief
So rice is ok, right?
Rice, particularly brown rice, is healthy for some people, but maybe not for everybody, like a lot of things.
Simply separating starches (whether wheat pasta, rice, potatoes, and so on) and proteins (meat, fish, eggs, and so on) at the same meal is one common way to optimize digestion. This method is called "food combining", and it goes back to the works of Drs. William Howard Hay and Herbert Shelton. Don't believe me. Check it out for yourself.
Yes I once stopped gluten and my depression went away. But I couldn’t stay it’s in so many things
In listening
I am allergic to wheat.
It started with gluten. Now I cant eat anything. just water and air for me thx!
You joke, but for people with Celiac disease, this is very real.
I dont wish it on anybody
Please also allow the guest speaker to speak , kindly 😊
This has been his issue and still continue to do so.
@@Christine-xs2of Sending them an email to read the video comments lol.. this keeps happening
He reminds me of a favorite childhood story: The Little Turtle Who Couldn't Stop Talking. It didn't end well.
