Gluten intolerance is OFTEN PRESENT even if your blood test comes back negative for celiac disease or other medical condition.

Gluten Intolerance

Gluten intolerance can cause a wide array of symptoms, including but not limited to:
• Itchy skin rashes
• Skin outbreaks
• Autoimmune diseases
• Congestion
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Celiac Disease
• Bowel Problems, including cramping
• Fatigue

Here’s how the problems begin:
In the small intestine there are small finger-like projections called VILLI. One medical definition explains that villi are “microscopic finger-like projections (.5 to 1.5 mm in length) off of the mucosal lining of the small intestine which are responsible for absorption of nutrients. The villi greatly increase the effective absorptive surface area of the small intestine.”

Gluten is a protein substance found in many foods (wheat and processed foods, etc.) that FLATTEN OUT the villi and make them unable to perform their function. Worse, the intestines, due to prolonged ingestion of gluten, villi become porous which then allows food particles to escape into the blood stream.

When the body’s immune system recognizes that substances are in the blood stream, it goes into a reactionary mode. The result is what medical science calls an “autoimmune disease,” in other words, the body starts to cause its own problems.

THE SOLUTION is to STOP EATING GLUTEN.
Yet, even when you stop eating gluten, it will take several months for the villi to recover and begin doing their job again, and it will take time for your body to heal the “holes” in the intestine. SO, YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE PROCESS SEVERAL MONTHS, BECAUSE going off gluten for a week or two or six still isn’t enough time to let your body heal.

LASTLY, when there is a chronic gluten intolerance and the small intestines are no longer functioning properly, your body suffers from malnutrition through malabsorption. In essence, you suffer from not having your nutrients utilized. Thus, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, flavonoids and all other sorts of important, life-sustaining nutrients cannot be used by the body, which further creates problems — not only are you getting symptoms, but your body cannot even use nutrients to defend itself and repair them.

SOLUTION:
1. Stop eating gluten FOR SIX MONTHS at least to see the difference and allow your intestines to heal.
2. Enroll in a program that allows you to log everything you eat and your symptoms. The best program we’ve found so far is on this website: foodintol.com
3. Take the whole food supplements recommended on this page.
4. In the midst of bowel cramping, you can take 1 Tablespoon of CalMag Balance Powder. Keep this on hand if you have bowel problems.
5. Supplements alone won’t resolve this problem.
6. Give this program time, don’t give up after a few weeks or a few days.
