I am chef and co-owner of The Birch Tree Cafe, Delaware's first dedicated gluten free bakery and lunch cafe. I want to thank you for speaking out about harmful effects of gluten being more than just for celiacs. I have celiac myself which of course drives my passion to make available safe foods and awesome breads that are good enough for anyone and are the thrill of those eating gluten free. I will be posting this on my business facebook and referencing it in my next newsletter so that I can share your simply-put yet powerful message and will ask that my followers share it out as well. Keep up the message that safe gluten free should become the norm and hopefully more restaurants and bakeries like mine will be popping up.

Thanks for your encouragement. It is my prediction that in another generation (20 years) that most people will be eating gluten-free. There will be a tipping point in the next 5 years and we will see a mass rejection of wheat/gluten. I have written about this in my book "Gluten:ZERO Global" www.GlutenZEROglobal.com

Gluten free diet changed my life. Stopped my chronic bloating and pain

Only discovered two weeks ago that my chronic fatigue and chronic migraines were caused by gluten. I lived that way for years! No more fatigue and no more headaches now.

16 years ago I was diagnosed with Relapsing and Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. The drugs my neurologist prescribed have horrible side effects so I chose to address the disease with diet with the knowledge that if diet failed I could always fall back on the drugs. Everything I read said to eliminate gluten and I did. Within 2 weeks of being completely gluten free I could tell I was on the right track and after a month I was a new person, the MS was non existent and I just kept getting better and better. After 6 months of being completely gluten free I was amazed at how many of my chronic health issues were GONE! From acid reflux to chronic depression to canker sores and more. It has been 16 years since my MS diagnosis and while most MS patients get an exacerbation every 2 years (and in retrospect that is exactly what I experienced) I had NOT a single exacerbation and I KNOW I will be fine for the rest of my life as long as I stay away from gluten. For me, gluten is poison.

I eat sourdough bread, but I avoid regular bread. You could try buying special enzymes for digesting gluten and wheat and take those pills with you if you're invited to be on the safe side or just refuse. There are special enzymes you can research.

I appreciate this evidence based talk from a doctor fighting a hard fight. Whether folks like it or not, there are people in this world who are non celiac that become sick from gluten. I have been gluten free for 12 years. I got progressively more and more sick and doctors could not/would not help me. I did my own research and decided to do an elimination diet since I couldn't afford more medical visits. Mind you, this is before the fad really began but I was desperate to feel better. And gasp it worked. I got better. My distended stomach went back to normal and my digestion normalized. I stopped being in pain everyday and I had real energy. I have had so many people tell me it's all in my head, that my results are imaginary or that what I'm doing is not healthy but I dont care. The truth is that results speak for themselves and gluten is not an essential nutrient so what does it matter? Unless you have experienced the prison that your own body becomes when you have this problem for years and years or sympathize with those who have, then it doesnt matter what you think.

You'd be surprised at the efficiency of 'bad language' The problem is that virtually all 'diets' are fads, usually perpetuated by unscrupulous people more interest in money than understanding the real science that they bend to their purpose, and there are a lot of very insecure people who drink in this rubbish (speaking generally, I've not yet watched this video). If you have a health problem, by all means research it, but ensure you also consult with a doctor. Much of the effect of 'medicine' is as we know placebo, and so those who stop eating gluten (etc.) for non medical reasons MAY see the results they wish to see, or they just may not know that they have an underlying condition. Too much (and in some cases) too little of anything is bad for you! You appear to be psychologically/intellectually capable of making an informed decision. A very large proportion of the population is deluded in thinking that it can also - those most at risk! Pandering to unstable, insecure people is ethically wrong. Any method that gets that point across and helps protect the vulnerable people in our society should be applauded IMHO. For further proof of 'vulnerability' take a look at some of the comments in this list - frightening isn't it? ;)

I appreciate this video as a celiac however I want to say that not all children present with these symptoms. I did not have failure to thrive symptoms nor was I a thin child. To all eyes I looked quite normal however as a child I had severe headaches, stomach pains and chronic patches of eczema on my arms and legs. As I grew older the symptoms got worse and I had horrible acne, migraines on a weekly basis, extreme mood swings, weight gain, hair loss and I became hypoglycemic. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 26 and I was only tested because I begged my doctor to test me after he told me she didn't think I had celiac. I was told so many times by doctors that there was nothing wrong with me and every symptom I had was "in my head" or I was "stressed". I cut gluten out 100% January of 2016 and I've never felt better. My skin cleared, I lost weight, my mood improved and I no longer had chronic stomach pains and migraines. Within 6 months I would say I felt like a normal person. I wish more doctors were being educated about gluten and celiac disease. I was miserable for the first 26 years of my life and not once did a doctor even mention that celiac or gluten could be the cause. In fact I had never even heard the term celiac until I started googling my symptoms and then when I presented my doctor with my concerns that I may have it he said to me "well you're too tall to have celiac disease." WTF? I'm 5'4" for reference...pretty sure that's not very tall.

I totally agree that eating gluten is not the cause of most illness. Nor does everyone who tries out a flute-free diet feel better. When we stop eating gluten, many things in our body will change. It is important to add back the energy and micronutrients of the food that has been eliminated. What I am saying is that everyone who eats gluten has physiological effects, that can with time cause irreversible harm. We all need to be aware that wheat, a ubiquitous food, is unwittingly harming many people. With awareness comes the ability to take action. Dr Rodney Ford

Rodney Ford thank you doctor ford. I have been gluten zero for some time now. And I can confirm I had a series of conditions which had no clear cause one after the other disappear. I would like to point out something that during my journey I discovered a condition called rope worm. Which has come to light in the last few years. There is hypothesis that it is caused by splicing wheat with bug genes in genetically modified wheat to stop bugs attacking the plant. This then embeds itself into the gut and becomes a self propagating worm that literally sucks onto the lining of the intestine and has a blood head. It does seem that for me this was a cause in my condition in that when I went gluten zero as you call it, I passed masses of this rope worm material it has different stages. The people who investigate this recommend a series of different enemas that seem to help eliminate these rope worms and they definitely helped me, but the reason I noticed and investigated to begin with I noticed them coming out in the toilet after giving up gluten and shared the picture on cure zone which led me own this path. I'm mentioning it because it may explain partly why the gluten reaction yet not celiac phenomenon you describe. Thanks for your work and promoting the truth. You are doing gods work and history will remember you well.

A few questions for you. Is the issue the wheat that has been developed over the past 300 or so years, or all wheats? There being wheats that are diploid, (eikhorn) tetrapoid (emmer, durham, khorasan), and hexaploid (common or bread wheat, spelt), each of which supposedly have different gluten proteins being produced. From what I have read many people can eat the diploid varieties. Also other grains such as barley and rye contain varieties of gluten. When I say varieties of gluten I mean that like animal proteins, different plants have similar proteins that are not exactly the same chemically but have the same function. So are all wheat varieties equally dangerous, or is this something that has become worse as we as a society changed from farming the diploid varieties, to mostly the hexaploid and tetraploid wheats varieties?

gluten sensitivity does not actually exist. I suspected it did not because people who have "gluten sensitivity" have no elevation in inflammation, negative biopsies of their intestines, and no antibodies to gluten. They have no objective findings at all. The scientists who partly contributed to the gluten fear were not happy with their initial studies because the people who complained of GI distress while eating gluten were also eating other foods that could have caused the GI distress. They organized the gold standard study: a prospective randomized placebo controlled trial. They had 3 groups and provided all of the food to these people who claimed to be gluten sensitive. The food was free of all the types of foods known to cause gas and distress. One group was given food with high gluten, one was given low gluten, and one received no gluten. None of the groups knew if they were eating gluten. Guess what. They ALL complained of GI symptoms. There was no difference between the no gluten placebo and the high gluten consumers. In other words it is unlikely that gluten has an effect. Of course that won't stop all the wheat belly, grain brain zealots. They rarely let science get in their way.

My story all started with respiratory symptoms, which lingered after a regular run-of-the-mill cold back in October 2016. After that cold I never felt right, even googled "got sick and never felt right again". You don't get much from that search either. LOL. My doctor tested me for food allergies, and it turns out I was positive for gluten. I had follow-up tests to check for celiac and that was negative. So I stayed away from gluten and felt better, of course. But slowly I started eating gluten again and had no respiratory symptoms. So, yes, I kept eating gluten. Fast forward to 2022 and now I have the back and forth with loose bowels and constipation and also bloating. I'm thinking my symptoms have progressed to digestive now and not the respiratory I had in the beginning.

For me, this is so true, I learned it the hard way but never thought these ideas about gluten were any important at all and I don't blame it all on gluten because I don't know but after three years being sick and trying everything I could find to heal myself, I stopped eating gluten and voila! my stength came back.

did you eat gluten free bread and pasta?

I have started dramatically reducing my intake of gluten, with a goal of being gluten-free most days at least (it can be harder when eating out). Since I've started cutting way back on gluten, my vitamin D and Iron levels are finally normalized after at least a decade of being dangerously low. My night sweats have mostly gone away (unless I eat a meal with a lot of gluten), and my bowel issues are slowly getting better (at least it feels that way so far). I started having regular periods again too after years of thinking I was going into early menopause or something, now I think I was just malnourished. I did not test positive for celiac disease when my gastroenterologist blood tested me, but I sure have noticed a difference in changing my diet.

It's regrettable how experienced medical professionals can be so short sighted and refuse to address a problem that appears to threaten their existing paradigm of thought. I have learned the details of how a high than natural percentage of doctors are of a personality type that seeks to maintain existing models of thought and have to be thoroughly convinced before agreeing to change. It's a core personality trait that is found in a certain amount of people in general around the world. There are other personality types who are the opposite of this. No wonder.

You never heard of gluten intolerance until instant yeast came on the scene. Up until the last 100 years the only way to make dough rise was with slow fermentation (sour dough) . Wheat is a difficult grain to break down and instant rise yeast does not do the job.

Truly spoken! According to my knowledge a naturally rised bread made of fermented sourdough is far less likely to hurt anyone (except "true" coeliac patients with zero tolerance for gluten) than a bread made with instant yeast. If you're looking especially at North America and Great Britain, well it's very hard to find a decent, traditionally made bread there, you see highly processed foods wherever you look. It woukd be very interesting to take a comparative look at Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and other nations where there is a long tradition of baking with sour dough and see how many people suffer from the same problems there.

@@blissfulsoul9380 , another big problem of our time is that people don't move enough. We aren't designed to sit on our asses all day and our digestion isn't either. It's not just that you don't burn calories, also in my experience the actual movement of the body does a lot for your well being and digestion. Native Americans surely didn't suffer from a lazy lifestyle back then and nowadays, as some of them do, they have the same problems like all the rest of the people. My point is: Even though fermentation makes bread way more unproblematically to digest you can get away with a lot of things while leading an active and healthy lifestyle. And by the way: At least the native mexicans make their corn bread (e.g. tortillas) with a process called nixtamalisation, which is supposed to be some kind of fermentation of the corn as well.

I would like to share my experience with gluten. I loved bread all my life. In my country where I originate from we eat sourdough bread. I never had trouble with it, nor with any grain product ( at least I didn't know about it). In my early thirties I relocated into UK. Very soon after the move I started getting diarrhoea after nearly every eating. Never heard about IBS before, I did put it down to stress. It took time to realise the food itself causing these problems, the bad stomach aches, the loose stools, especially the flour based foods. I still don't know what is a difference between the continental and the UK flour. I never have these stomach problems in Europe, regardless about the type of food but here in UK it often flares up.

Thank you for your TedX. As a Coeliac, others don't understand gluten free as a medical choice food as opposed to a fashion choice. So glad I watched this presentation. It makes me feel that I lack understanding of my own health as a diagnosed Coeliac. Will read the books referenced to help increase my awareness and to support the changes I have made.

I got diagnosed with coeliac about 6 years ago. A while later the do tor told me I needed B12 injections as I can’t absorb it from food. Lack of this vitamin can cause serious problems so please be careful if you stop eating bread. See a doctor and or dietician. At the very least eat plenty of oily fish/prawns/meat/eggs.

Thank you so much. I’m finally getting answers.😊

And for some people it could be a gluten overload. When I simply paid attention to the food I was eating that contained gluten, I quickly realized I was overloading. I cut back, enhanced my whole-food plant based diet and my issues faded.

Ditto. I seriously cut back wheat and added sugars. When I did my stomach issues greatly subside. I can get away with a cheat here and there but say I did a couple days in a row of cheating, or say a lot of it at once, boom my stomach is super bloated, and other things. I dont have to cut these thi gs out completely, but the less I eat of it the better I feel. As a kid I had allergy tests done. Those ski scratch things. Wheat came up as an allergen but I still ate it. Probably would have felt better had I not.

I had digestive issues for many years and I was not aware that what I was eating was causing me harm. Every year I had more and more health symptoms more visits to the doctor & more sick days from work. I decided to read about the Elimination Diet and it helped me to realize that I was sensitive to certain foods & additives & preservatives. On the scale from 1 to 10 gluten causes pain at a level 10. Dairy causes bloating gas runny nose post nasal drip itchiness and wheezing at night. It doesn't matter what kind of dairy I drink if it's organic or Lactaid I still have symptoms. These are real issues for some people and if you don't have them and you don't understand what we go through. MSG causes migraines for me. I went from having the occasional migraine to having migraines three times a week or more and missing many days of work and having to leave work early. Weather I ate at my work cafeteria or I cooked meals at home that I thought were healthy the additives and the seasoning that contains MSG especially and Spanish food was the cause for my migraine headaches. And those migraines became so bad that I would throw up. I'm thankful for the Elimination Diet and videos like these

Excellent!

Part of gluten problem apparently or probably due to how we process make bake bread. Home made easily tolerated when commercial breads are not. Gluten structure affected by time for yeast fermentation and additives used.

I believe it is not just gluten causing the issues, but also the total of simple carbs (where basically wheat is the major source). simple carbs create strong addiction and makes it very difficult for most people to cut off but once tried, in a very short time you feel so well and the addiction wears off totally, very quickly. Cutting of simple carbs totally is the best thing you do for yourself. You will feel much better so fast that you will regret not having it done long time ago.

(Copy and pasting from my response to a comment bc I’m feeling lazy af, sorry not sorry) Ate wheat fine for years, then around 19 I started getting sick. Foggy, fatigued, migraines, loose stool, and frequent bowel movements. It was so bad I was going to the bathroom 5 or 6 times a day. I cut gluten down almost completely after my doc told me I might be gluten sensitive, and now I feel so much better. No more migraines, I’m clearer, got more energy, and my gastro issues are down to almost non existent (I sometimes cheat 😅). On good days I have 2-3 bowel movements a day, way more in a normal range. Gluten is a protein. And many people have and develop protein allergies at any moment in their lives.

I tried a gluten free diet along with my husband and son who has high functioning Autism, it made absolutely no difference to us, energy or mind function however if it works for others good for them and I would not tell anyone to stop unless they wish to try and see if it helps and if it does great for them

Thank you! You are totally right.

Just try it & see....what is the harm? Once I went gluten-free I didn't nap as much, I wasn't as easily agitated, & my achiness improved. Whenever I ate gluten (let's be honest, it's about 80% of the grocery store) I would get a sense of tired confusion....I called it "jiggly-brain" because it honestly felt like my brain was jiggling. I could not sort out the source, because gluten is everywhere (do you know some rotisserie chicken has gluten in it?). I thought I was just doomed to eat and suffer, eat and suffer. I am much improved & almost never nap anymore.

-- people who do not have celiac disease respond poorly to gluten -- NO ONE can digest gluten (it's a protein that our body cannot break down) -- EVERYONE has an inflammatory response in the gut to gluten (the protein is similar to a chemical messenger that tells the pores in our intestinal lining to open [leaky gut], which is how it gets into the bloodstream. And because it is a foreign body in the bloodstream, it provokes an immune response) -- nerve damage caused by gluten is likely the most widespread consequence of gluten consumption, which largely goes undiagnosed

I would be interested to hear more about HOW we grow these crops (GMO's, pesticide or fungicide use, etc.) contributes to wheat intolerance and celiac.
