Are you experiencing gluten sensitivities? Gluten allergy? Or have you ever wondered just because gluten doesn't effect me will it eventually or is it still harming my body? 

I have always questioned the third question listed above. I don't recall ever having an allergic or sensitive reaction when I ate gluten foods. I maybe was not aware of it and I actually did experience symptoms but I was so blind to it. 

What is Gluten? 

It is a general name for storage proteins (Prolamins) in wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and sorghum. 

Kids who are eating a high amount of gluten products develop delayed speech. Failure to thrive. Delayed growth and short stature. Delayed puberty. Dental enamel abnormalities. Irritability. Behavioral changes. Concentration problems. 

Grains are being mechanically mass produced with a much higher percent of gluten.. Next time you go to the store read the ingredients and see what items you would normally shop for then check how much gluten you are actually having in your diet. They add unnecessary gluten to many processed foods. Even then, companies don't always label the truth on their products. Below is a list of grains that have gluten. 

Here is a List of Gluten Foods in the Super Market:

* Barley, barley malt

* Bran

* Bulgur

*Couscous

* Durum

* Einkorn

*Emmer

* Farino

*Farro

* Gluten( wheat)

* Graham

* Kamut

* Malt extract flavoring

* Oats/oat bran/ oat syrup

* Orzo

* Rye

* Seitan (wheat gluten)

* Seminola

* Spelt (dinkell)

* Triticale 

* Wheat- bran, germ, grass, starch

* Sprouted grains made from these sources. 

That is a large list of gluten filled grains. I think that people are eating too much gluten in their for it to be affecting a lot of people with autoimmune diseases, gluten sensitivities, gluten allergies, digestive issues. This is an important thing to know. I recommend you check the ingredient label and make sure you are staying away from a lot of packaged processed foods. Whole organic foods are always better and is true medicine. If you want to get better and heal your digestive system please read my other blog about the Four R's concept and heal yourself.
