As a gluten tolerance test, substitute an amount of non-gluten carbohydrates for the same amount of


gluten-containing products. For example, instead of two pieces of bread, substitute three-quarters of a cup of brown rice—a rough


equivalent in carbohydrate content. A positive difference in hunger,


cravings and energy levels when gluten is eliminated indicates a condition of gluten intolerance.

of scientific literature. She’s concluded, “Whether you are sensitive to it or not, gluten increases the production of zonulin, which can result in damage to intestinal walls and cause the cells on the outside of the intestines to set off an immune response to anything that passes through. In this condition, what we’re eating—cheese, milk, eggs, corn, soy—is leaking through the gut lining, trigger-


ing an immune response and potentially creating multiple food sensitivities.” Wilson also notes that in her clini- cal experience, only about half of her patients with gluten sensitivities com- plain of digestive issues. “I’ve found that gluten causes the immune cells on the outside of the small intestine to affect the nervous system, causing headaches, anxiety, depression and insomnia,” she says. Her findings are backed by research from the Massa- chusetts General Hospital Center for Celiac Research and Italy’s University of Catania. The same researchers confirm that non-celiac gluten sensitivity or intolerance can also foster depression; a University of Cincinnati study pub- lished in the journal Headache links gluten and headaches. Other proteins in wheat can be


problematic, advises Fiona McCulloch, a Toronto doctor of naturopathy, citing a study presented at the annual European Gastroenterology Conference, in Vienna, last October. The report showed that a family of proteins called amylase tryp- sin inhibitors can lead to the develop- ment of inflammation in tissues beyond the gut, including the lymph nodes, kidneys, spleen and brain.


Glyphosate residues can be a factor


in gluten intolerance. Although wheat crops produced in the U.S. are not yet genetically modified, many non-organic wheat crops are sprayed with glyphosate to promote rapid drying, according to the Environmental Working Group.

Inadequate digestive enzymes:


Lactose intolerance is the most com- mon result of missing digestive en- zymes like lactase, according to the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota. Avoiding milk products may relieve digestive distress for some.


Eliminate Items,


Then Challenge Most experts believe the easiest way to deal with food sensitivities is to stop eating the food in question. The so-called “elimination and challenge” diet, which has been in use for decades, is effective, free and addresses the foods responsible for common food intoler- ances, says Virgin. Simply avoid the food of concern completely for at least three weeks, then eat a small amount of it and catalog and the results. For some people, it may only take a couple of hours for symptoms to return after eating a piece of bread, cup of milk, an egg or bit of tofu.
