This Is What Your Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity Requires
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivities and nutritional deficiencies are so interconnected, their coexistence has become ubiquitous.
The symptoms of both gluten sensitivities and mineral deficiencies are virtually the same:
- nausea, bloating, and stomach pain
- fatigue
- brain fog
- headaches
- diarrhea, constipation
- tingling, numbness
- skin conditions
Since a large percentage of the population has deficiencies, how do you know if it’s the gluten that is causing your discomfort?
To make the matter even more confusing, stomach irritation may lead to chronic inflammation, which is buffered in the body by the minerals extracted from your skin and bones. In other words, the pesticides in wheat are bothersome to your stomach and your minerals are summoned to put out the fire. They are depleted in order to fight the inflammation. In some instances the brain is inflamed as well, and we now know that depression can also be a symptom of brain inflammation, which can result from a wheat allergy or pesticide intolerance. Do not take carbs all together out, though. Carbs are an important energy source. They are also essential to the production of serotonin, the feel good hormone you need to feel stress-free and optimistic.
When some people take grains out of their diets, they may feel better. But is it a) the gluten, b) the pesticides, or c) the mineral-rich foods we are now adding to replace the grains?
Whatever the answer, if you feel better not eating grains, by all means don’t. Just consider the facts and know that if you are experiencing the above symptoms you may be both pesticide intolerant and mineral deficient.
Don’t guess. Visit a medical professional and find out for sure. Getting to the root cause of your discomfort through personalized, precision medicine will not only address your immediate concerns, it may also save you a headache. Literally.
