Gluten Intolerance – 1 of My Leaky Gut Secrets

I want to talk to you today about a single topic that pretty much revolutionized the success I get with my clients. When I started doing this with my clients, the effects were typically immediate. Not only was I getting better results, I was getting much faster results.

Sub-Clinical Gluten Intolerance

Many people are aware of gluten intolerance in the traditional sense of Celiac Disease which is a severe genetic autoimmune condition where gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) cannot be properly digested. This results in severe inflammation within the digestive tract that not only causes Leaky Gut Syndrome but also results in severe diarrhea, digestive pain, and fatigue.

But not many people are aware of a much lesser known problem referred to as Sub-Clinical Gluten Intolerance. The term “sub-clinical” means that there are no obvious signs and symptoms.

But while there are no obvious signs and symptoms, inflammation is still present but on a lesser scale. But this low grade inflammation can cause damage over years causing Leaky Gut and for your chronic symptoms to occur.

In fact, there was a large scale medical study run in the US on chronically ill patients that were unresponsive to medical treatments. The researchers believed that there could be a dietary connection and thus used saliva testing for sub-clinical gluten intolerance on several hundreds of these patients of which 85% tested positive.

Many times you can see a common pattern with people who suffer from sub-clinical gluten intolerance. Typically, as children they will suffer from allergies, asthma, reoccurring infections, a constant upset stomach, and milk intolerance. Then as they get older their symptoms will subside until they reappear later in life.

But don’t expect your doctor to diagnose you or to even understand what leaky gut and sub-clinical gluten intolerance really is. This is not widely known yet in the traditional medical community. And unfortunately, most doctors these days are not well educated when it comes to nutrition.

Gluten Intolerance Treatment

The only long term treatment for gluten intolerance is to avoid gluten. This is a genetic condition that cannot be healed or fixed so the only real option is avoidance.

And while avoidance of gluten is key, you will also need to heal your leaky gut in the process to reverse this long term damage so that your symptoms go away.

Eat This, Not That

Eat: Rice, corn, millet, quinoa, amaranth, oats (for most people), and buckwheat are all safe to eat.

Not: Gluten containing foods such as wheat, rye, barley, kamut, spelt, teff, and couscous that are typically found in bread, pasta, bagels, and cereals.

Bonus Tip

You can conduct your own test at home by completely removing gluten from your diet for a minimum of 2 weeks (longer is better) noting any improvements in your symptoms.

After your gluten-free trial period is over, re-introduce gluten containing foods in large amounts and note all adverse reactions. If any of your symptoms reoccur or worsen, you are likely exhibiting an intolerance to gluten.

If you find that you are intolerant to gluten and you want to start getting relief immediately then my program will reverse the damage and put an end to your symptoms.

Gluten Sensitivity and Leaky Gut – Hidden Sources of Gluten

LISTEN ON SPOTIFY

Are you aware that there are a number of hidden sources of gluten in many of the foods you probably consider safe to eat?

The whole gluten-free movement is gaining a lot of ground lately and for good reason. People are beginning to see for themselves the positive effects that they experience just by removing gluten from their diet.

But are you truly gluten-free?

The sad truth is that gluten is still in many foods that you believe are gluten-free which is a big problem for many suffering from Leaky Gut Syndrome. And I’m only going to give you few here so keep in mind that there many more.

And if you have a sensitivity or allergy to gluten and you find yourself still reacting to certain grains or packaged foods then be sure consider the following hidden sources of gluten and remove them from your diet.

Hidden Sources of Gluten in All Grains

Probably one of the biggest hidden sources of gluten is grains. But I’m not just talking about wheat, barley, and rye which are the most commonly associated grains tied to gluten.

There’s actually some form of gluten found in all grains.

For example, the type of gluten found in wheat is called Gliadin. And it’s actually the Gliadin that is responsible for causing the food allergy and inflammation for those who are sensitive to wheat.

But all other grains still contain some type of gluten however most people are typically less sensitive to them. And notice that I said “less sensitive” because many people still do react to these other types of gluten even if they aren’t as severe.

Here’s a list of some grains and the type of gluten that they contain:

GrainType of Gluten
WheatGliadin
BarleyHordein
OatsAvenin
CornZien
MilletPanicin

Hidden Sources of Gluten from Cross Contamination

Another very common problem with grains is that most are also cross contaminated with wheat gluten.

Most grains are all processed in the same facilities as wheat. And during the processing, there is always going to be cross contamination from left over residue.

This is also why most grains such as oats aren’t allowed to be labeled gluten-free unless they’ve been processed in a facility that does not process wheat.

Hidden Sources of Gluten in Sauces

Sauces are notorious for containing gluten and some you would never suspect.

The obvious sauces that contain hidden sources of gluten are those that have been thickened because wheat flour has been used as a thickener for a long time. A good example of this is with almost any homemade gravy recipe.

And you have to be careful when reading ingredients these days. Gluten is being hidden under different ingredients and thickening agents such as “dextrin” or “modified food starch” on many food labels.

But there are also other sauces that aren’t thickened that are still known to contain gluten because wheat was used at some stage during the processing and manufacturing.

Two good examples of this are most Soy Sauce and most Worcestershire Sauce.

Hidden Sources of Gluten in Seasonings

If you cook with herbs or spices, then you most likely have nothing to worry about. Well, besides some of the toxic compounds they put in spices but that’s a whole different discussion.

The much bigger problem is with seasonings which are a blend of herbs, spicing, and other agents. And it’s really the other agents that are the problem.

Most seasonings and seasoning packets contain some sort of thickening agent which as mentioned above, typically contains hidden sources of gluten.

So it’s always a good idea to make your own seasonings from scratch.

Hidden Sources of Gluten in Meats

I know what you’re thinking… Meat in general does not contain gluten however there are many different sources of packaged or processed meats that have hidden sources of gluten in them as additives.

In fact, many different deli meats are now beginning to carry the gluten-free label because so many are being found to contain gluten.

And the problem extends much further than just deli meats alone. Almost all processed meats are being found to contain added or hidden sources of gluten in the form of a filler or seasoning which is all the more reason to avoid anything that has been processed.
