"I am a bit confused. I have discovered that I get sick with gluten. But I do not know if I have a "real" diagnosis. What does "gluten sensitivity actually mean? Should I get tests?" Rachel.
I reply: Being gluten-sensitive means that you react to the gluten in your diet. Gluten is a food protein. It is found in the three grains: wheat, rye and barley. There are lots and lots of symptoms that can be caused by gluten. The best way to test for gluten-sensitivity is to do a blood test (please check out the blood test page). Medical research shows that at least one in ten people get symptoms with gluten. But most are unaware of it - they do not know this because they are so used to feeling low and unwell. If you have any ongoing ill health, then I encourage you to get tested for gluten reactions. Look up my blood test recommendations. If you are having reactions to gluten, then you probably have The Gluten Syndrome. Cheers, Dr Rodney Ford. Recommendation: You can find more in-depth information in the book -
