Gluten

From Fox News:

What is Gluten? In nature, it’s found most commonly in field grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye. It is considered a useful source of protein, whether in its natural form or used as an additive in the food-manufacturing process.

People with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease can display a multitude of symptoms, which is why this health problem is so underdiagnosed. Symptoms can include everything from constipation to diarrhea, and bowel pain and cramps are often common. Many people with celiac disease are often misdiagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome as the symptoms are similar. Chronic fatigue is perhaps the most common sign, and it makes sense since you’re not absorbing enough nutrients to keep your body running at its peak, so you feel worn down. Other symptoms include weight loss and anemia.

A biopsy of the bowel is acommon (and almost certain) method of testing for Gluten Sensitivity. Going gluten-free with your diet may seem like a tall task, but remember that modifying what you eat will do more than give you better energy — it will make you healthier. There’s no magic pill that will allow you to enjoy wheat pasta and other products again, but thankfully, there are a number of alternatives on the market. And with more people being diagnosed every week, it may not be long before gluten-free products have their own section in the supermarket.

   If you can find a reason other than gluten sensitivity for feeling very run down, I’ll thank you. I’ve been tested and am one of the lucky few without any sort of sensitivity to grains. However, I am one of the unlucky even fewer who can get recurrences of glandular fever…
