The Gluten Syndrome refers to the cluster of symptoms that you experience if you react to gluten. It can affect your gut, skin and nerves.

Medical practitioners accept that gluten causes celiac disease (gut damage) but often resist the notion that gluten can cause a wider spectrum of illness.
Celiac disease, gluten intolerance and gluten sensitivity are all part of The Gluten Syndrome.

A massive health problem
Rapidly accumulating medical evidence shows that gluten is now creating a massive health problem throughout the Western world. However, woefully few people are aware of the catalogue of harm that gluten is causing. About one in ten people – that is millions of people – are affected by The Gluten Syndrome.

Gluten could be responsible for one-third of all cases of chronic illness and fatigue. People suffering from these conditions are currently just putting up with their symptoms, unaware that gluten is the culprit. This is because the link to gluten is yet been recognized by the medical community.

Gluten in lots of foods
Gluten-containing products are being added to our food chain in increasing amounts. Our wheat is being engineered to have even higher gluten content. This gluten overload is occurring without our communities being unaware of the harm that this is causing.

Gluten can cause malfunctions of the brain and neural networks of susceptible people. The incidence of mental, neurological and brain disorders is on the rise, however the diagnosis of gluten-sensitivity is seldom made.

More and more going on gluten-free diets
The community is already embracing the notion of gluten-sensitivity and more and more people are opting for a gluten-free lifestyle. These people are looking for a term to identify their illness. Their search is over. They have been affected by The Gluten Syndrome.

A strong gluten-free movement is developing globally in response to the knowledge that going gluten-free can be so beneficial to so many people. What has been missing up until now is a name that captures the gluten problem. The missing name is The Gluten Syndrome.

Links to Dr Ford's websites for more information. There is much to know about Gluten Intolerance. Celiacs is the end of the road and not necessarily the final diagnosis. My daughter and her family have been affected by Gluten intolerance but have avoided celiacs by being tested early and then going gluten free.
