Some people actually cannot have gluten in their diet at all, like my wife. It's not a fad for her, it was the cure for an autoimmune disease Western medicine has no cure for.
And I'm sensitive to strong electromagnetic signals like cellphones and wifi, so I think a tinfoil hat might be a good idea
What a pair we make LOL.
Celiac disease is a legitimate disease, all the researchers have no doubt about the fact the
some people legitimately cannot eat it.
However, people without that immune disorder are the people they are referring to here.
I would not say western medicine has no cure for immune disorder regarding gluten. It's a well known disease now and the cure is just to not eat gluten.
There was a new study about this that was just published. They found only one-third of people diagnosed with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity actually experience adverse side effects from gluten intake. Most of the people who claimed they are gluten intolerant, could not even tell when they were eating gluten and when they weren't. This lends support to the idea that these people don't actually have any problems with gluten itself and that it's a purely psychological effect known as the
Nocebo Effect. Effects from nocebo are real effects, that cause people actual suffering, but they originate from a purely mental phenomenon. In other words, just thinking that gluten is bad for you, is itself, the only reason why one experiences ill effects from it. For
SOME people.
Maybe. Although, some researchers are speculating that it is not gluten that is the problem, but a particular type of hard to digest carbohydrate called "FODMAP".
It's an interesting study.
