This is such a fantastic video! I LOVE the science you have to back up everything you talk about - it’s so refreshing to see this on TH-cam! Would love to see you make similar videos about lactose/soy/other non-allergy intolerances
So good! I’ve been avoiding gluten for 4 years now as I thought it was the reason for my gut issues, but lately I’ve been eating gluten now and then and I can’t find an actual link between my gut issues and my gluten intake...
My digestion does best when I avoid grains in the form of bread and pasta in particular. I don’t know if it’s gluten or not that bothers me. I do know I don’t have a problem with many other high FODMAP foods. And I don’t have any other celiac symptoms.
I know someone that has a hard time digesting wheat they get constipated by it and they also seem to get diahrea when their nervouse especially when they have a speaking engagement do you have any ideas I think this video is very eye opening and helpful! Thank you for posting all these videos they really set my mind at ease!
I have endometriosis and they said that gluten free diet can reduce endo pain. So I'm really interested to this topic. Thank you Meghan. I hope you can talk about this kind of topic (such as gluten free, dairy free, egg free, sugar free, etc) more in your next video. ❤️
Hey there! I know the low FODMAP diet has been studied as being helpful for those with endometriosis ❤️And yeah definitely, I hope to cover similar topics (e.g. sugar) in the future :)
Meghan, this video is so so informative! Thanks so much! 💜🙏🏻 A few years ago, a doctor told me that being sensitive to gluten can be linked to monthly menstrual cycle cramps! I didn’t even believe it, but after doing a quick research, I realized that the pain can exacerbate by gluten and avoiding it has helped me stay away from cramps on those days! Maybe someone else can benefit from this lil’ tip!
It breaks my heart that I can not have gluten. I blame it on our over processed grains. I heard from people that live in the far east they can eat wheat when they are home but when they come to North America they have issues with gluten. I lived 53 years eating wheat and now it will make me deathly sick. Maybe I always had issues but I was just young and strong I don’t know. I just knew I increasingly had ibs as the later years went on. 😩 I have to relearn a lot of recipes and it’s not the same but the pain isn’t worth it. Thank you
I have trouble digesting grains or maybe just wheat for an unknown reason but I love Ezekiel bread! I think it tastes better than ordinary bread anyway!
I am wondering for a while if gluten causes my difficulty breathing and feeling tired. All basic lung and heart tests are okay. Stomach problems are basically gone since cutting out lactose so I am trying to get rid of gluten and sugar to see if it will help with this. Thanks for the video Meghan!
You’re so humble and you’re such a smart cookie 💛💛 I personally get very constipated from bread 😩 so painful. I’ve switched to crackers and rye bread, for some reason it helps a lot.
Loved the message with the video..I also relate to listening to my body and eating mindfully so that we can be aware of what triggers us rather than just eliminating food groups blindly. I think healing looks so different for different people :)
not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days :)
Thank you for all the tips and information you give us ❤️ I love learning more about nutrition and overall mind and body health, I was wondering if you know anything about hair loss and what you can do to help your hair grow back? Maybe you could do a video about that in the future?❤️ I have been suffering with hair loss for a long time since I went off the birth control Yasmin. I'm trying a holistic approach on the matter but I feel a bit lost sometimes, anyways thanks for everything you do 🥰
I discovered that I don’t have a problem with gluten. I thought I did because I went through a time where I was bloating up to the point of misery almost every day. I did find a nutritionist who put me on a diet for a week to “reset” my system. I haven’t had a bloating experience since. That was several years ago. A co-worker has the same symptoms and still does because she insists that she has celiac disease and refuses to try anything different and we have to listen to her crying all day about her stomach.
Thank you so much for all your videos which really inform and speak to me. But could you tell me if gluten or eating wheat products can have inflammatory effects ? I'm suffuring from tendonitis and joints and muscles pains which don't heal and I look for any way to help me... I wonder if I should try to skip gluten.
@@meghanlivingstone Yes, you did. I think all these things can be really complicated. I don’t have celiac disease or a wheat allergy but eating wheat makes me incredibly tired when the digestion starts. The same doesn’t happen with rice or potatoes. It’s really weird but I have stopped eating pasta and only eat a small amount of brown bread and feel better for it. Thankfully I love porridge for breakfast or overnight oats in summer so it’s not a problem!😊😊😊😊
Great video! I struggle with food anxiety, I think about food more then I should and feel guilty when I eat to much with happens when I’m stressed, tired, and mentally down. I wish I can have solution to this...
Hi Anna. You're definitely not alone. Anxiety around food is pretty common nowadays, especially because of the guilt we're often made to feel if we don't eat "perfectly" or "healthy" enough. I have a video on Intuitive Eating that you might find helpful. There's also a book called Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch that I recommend also! xx
Hi there! I am a relatively new subscriber catching up on all your videos! 😃 I am also in Toronto and was hoping you could please share where you did your training for Holistic Nutritionist?! I am so interested in seeing ch a program, mainly for personal and family care. Thank you! Kayla
Hi Magham, always LOVING your videos, thank you! Do you know if I have pain in low gut (almost pelvic area) I am sensitivy to gluten? It happens with garlic, onion too...maybe FODMAPs... ?..
Hi Carla! Garlic and onions are high in fructans, the same FODMAP as wheat, so that could be the issue! Something to discuss with your doctor for sure :)
I am not allergic to gluten but I am sensitive because it contains folic acid (I have a genetic mutation called MTHFR where it causes me to not be able to process man-made vitamin B). 30% of the population has this mutation. So, if you have been tested for a gluten allergy and your results haven't matched with your symptoms, maybe its worth considering that you have this genetic mutation. Finding this out saved me from being tired every day of my life. I could literally sit down and fall asleep in a snap😂 Seriously, if you are sensitive, this mutation could be a reason why
@wake up weary hearts My symptoms are more gut related. I don't have any oral irritation... I haven't been able to match my experiences to anything reputable I've found online and would love to see an all angle, in depth dive like this one!
Hey Kaylee - I wonder if the gut issues you're having with raw fruit is related to FODMAP content (highly fermentable sugars) such as those found in apples, stone fruits, blackberries, avocado, cherries, mango, etc. Depends on the kind of fruit you're not digesting well!
@@meghanlivingstone Most fruits, but especially things like peaches. After I cook the fruit it's usually fine. Thanks for the direction- I'll look into this!
Thanks Meghan, great content - and great timing for me! 😋 I'm restricting gluten because I read it increases Inflammation and causes rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups. I can't find consistent info on whether there is such a thing as gluten-free oats, and how to safely purchase them! What's your stance on this? Thanks 😘
Hi there, i'm not Meghan, but I know here in the UK we can purchase gluten free oats in the supermarkets and they're made from rice? I have previously been gluten-free to help with a digestive disease, and I found them a little weird-looking (they're almost see-through!) but they were quite tasty. I have been eating gluten a long time now but I am currently being investigated for potential rheumatoid arthritis, so it looks like I might be going back down that road 😘
@@Gigglypeach how interesting! I would definitely be keen to try something rice based 😊 (although the other thing is I'm also only supposed to eat brown rice and should avoid white rice, for the RA 😥)
Hi Liliana! Oats are naturally gluten-free, however many are cross-contaminated with wheat which is why you want to look for certified gluten-free oats (there’s usually some kind of stamp or label on a package) or packages that have been approved by Celiac Foundations, etc. I hope that helps!
Hi Liliana! My sister has quite severe coeliac disease, and has been involved in a few study trials so our family has learnt quite a lot about gluten & GF eating. Here in Australia the peak coeliac body and all the doctors my sister has seen have confirmed that no oats sold in Australia are certified gluten free - meaning anyone with coeliac shouldn’t eat oats or any product with traces of oats. As far as I’m aware certified gluten free oats are available in the US. Not really sure on the reason behind this (might be something to do with farming/production/packaging in different countries or could be the amount of parts per million the local medical board considers safe for coeliacs?) but it’s definitely location specific. Hope that helps!
I was asking myself the same question. I do not think I do have a specific type of wheat allergies or so but I have gallbladder stones. I know it might have nothing to do with wheat consumption in as much as fatty food but I started to minimize gluten in my diet. Sometimes, I feel like what if I am depriving my body from something it used to consume and can be beneficial in a way or another given that tried so other alternative to bread and they are not tasty. Here again comes the link between my mood and diet .. what do you think? Is it really possible that there are benefits for some people?
please watch impact theory’s channel . they have a lot of videos on this topic - and for my opinion mood & diet go HAND IN HAND. no exceptions. like i said this is what i believe, but the proof is in the pudding !!! try eating clean, no grain no processed foods for a week or two. watch your mood slowly surprise you 👀 life will open up. “aha” moment for me. GL with your journey!
My stepmom only started doing the gluten free diet when it was THE trend. She's not allergic or any issues with gluten. She goes with the fads. A few weeks ago, while having lunch with her and my dad, she wouldn't drink what my dad got because he ate a burger, and now there is gluten on the straw. Ooooo
This is such a fantastic video! I LOVE the science you have to back up everything you talk about - it’s so refreshing to see this on TH-cam! Would love to see you make similar videos about lactose/soy/other non-allergy intolerances
I'd love to do more '101' videos! Thanks for the suggestions :)
This video is great! Could you please make a dairy or even sugar/ fats 101 as well?

My sis in law also has endom. And shes also gluten tolerant but is in a lot of pain all the time. Not sure about if that helps. Id love to know to.
personally cutted out gluten after noticing my allergic reaction to it, have been gluten free for more than a year now and feel so better and lighter.
Im so happy I found this video. Im in the process of figuring out my digestive issues and I appreciate any helpful information. Thank you so much.
You’re so welcome. I’m glad this video was helpful for you!
What about organic wheat? The gluten intolerance started around when they started spraying pesticides like glyphosphate
This was very helpful!! I've done research on gut issues for a long time, but here I got some new info I didn't know yet! Thank you! 💛

I have a problem with eating comical bread. I found that I am lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs. I now make my own bread.
Hey David! So glad you make your own now and (hopefully) tolerate it much better!
I have allergies to weat as well so I can’t have gluten 😮

So are you gluten free because you ferment spelt and use sprouted bread
