Article on How Gluten Wreaks Havoc on Your Gut

This is one of the best articles I have read on "why" gluten is affecting more people than ever before (grains are now hybrid and deamidated for convenience sake). It also gives a really good description on what happens in our body when we eat gluten."

This article suggests several tests and I agree with that. I had several tests that hinted there might be something up, but the IgA Antigliadin test was the most conclusive for me. Also I was off of gluten for 30 days and the results were not conclusive when I challenged it back into my diet, but when I was off for 6 months he challenge test was very conclusive... I don't think the 30 day removal test is the best option. My daughter has been off gluten for 5 months and it took about 4 month for her tummy pains to go away... she will challenge gluten next month and we'll see how that turns out.
