New symptoms for the new millennium? Or old symptoms now being recognised? This book describes the symptoms caused by eating gluten, a protein in 4 specific grains, wheat, rye, oats and barley.It will be available in late 2011.
This book is in part, the story of the author and that of her family. It recounts their progress to health when they discovered they were all sensitive to gluten. It describes the main autoimmune disorder related to gluten, which is coeliac disease, but also explains that many other autoimmune disorders, bowel complaints, endocrine disorders, neurological disorders, respiratory tract complaints, skin complaints, problems of the mind, and malabsorption of nutrients may also be linked to gluten. The medical tests are described and the necessary changes in lifestyle are explained.
Excerpt
In 1992, my mother, who lives in Australia, was diagnosed with an autoimmune, inflammatory bowel complaints called Crohn's disease. When I asked her what had caused the inflammation, she was very vague and said that her doctor had just told her to be aware of what she ate and to avoid foods that may irritate her, like seeds and nuts for example. I wanted to help my mother in some way, and decided to do some research of my own. I discovered that Crohn's disease could be hereditary and that it was being researched in USA and UK in relationship to gluten. What I then discovered about gluten changed my life forever.
