Gluten Free Vegan Living

If you have followed the gluten intolerance or celiac disease controversy, you probably know that doctors and nutritionist are not in agreement about this issue. Often, if there is not a concrete test or positive proof of a disease, doctors often dismiss the symptoms as psychosomatic … or something worse!

I was lucky to have a couple of tests that ‘proved’ I had damage in my system from gluten and a smart doctor (naturopathic) who read the signs correctly. Otherwise, I would probably be in a nursing home with most of my memory seriously impaired!

An Australian study published last year in the American Journal of Gastroenterology showed for the first time that gluten could trigger symptoms of fatigue in people without coeliac disease – making the argument for what doctors call non-coeliac gluten intolerance. But the mechanism remained unexplained.

”Gluten intolerance in individuals without coeliac disease is a controversial issue and has recently been described as the ‘no man’s land of gluten sensitivity’,” the authors wrote.

‘The evidence base for such claims is unfortunately very thin, with no randomised controlled trials demonstrating that the entity does actually exist.”
