GLUTEN-FREE AND GRAIN-FREE DIETS
In my clinical experience, the adverse health effects of grain proteins (glutens) and other anti-nutrients found in grains, are frequently at the root of my patient’s chronic health conditions. Most doctors think of Coeliac disease purely as a gut disorder, unaware that it may manifest as disorders of the skin, nervous system or fertility problems.
Less appreciated still is the fact that a gluten-free diet can be essential for people without Coeliac disease, but who are suffering with chronic or intractable skin, autoimmune, neurological and endocrine disorders. I have many hundreds of patients whose health has been transformed through the clinical application of such diets. Yet most doctors know nothing about the benefits of a gluten-free diet outside of Coeliac disease, which they all too often fail to diagnose in the first place.


Understanding “Coeliac Spectrum”
“Coeliac Spectrum” is the term I give to the entire range of gluten-related disorders. I use this catch-all term, because from the patient’s perspective, regardless of whether they are diagnosed Coeliac or Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitive, they will need to follow a gluten-free diet — possibly for the remainder of their lives — to remain healthy.
Below are several in-depth articles covering the science behind Gluten Related Disorders which can help you appreciate the relevance of a gluten-free diet for your health condition. Understanding what the research says can help you get your diet right and take charge of your health.
