Gluten sensitivity - what it means

Gluten sensitivity (also called gluten intolerance) is when your body reacts to the gluten in your food. It probably causes most of its damage by interfering with the nerves that regulate your body.

Gluten reactions make people feel sick, tired and grumpy.

Gluten sensitivity includes coeliac (celiac) disease.

All this illness is brought together under The Gluten Syndrome.

Feeling tired or exhausted a lot of the time? Wanting more energy? Always seem to have low iron levels? Struggling with irritable bowel or gastric reflux? Get moody or irritable? Bothered by headaches and migraine?

If you have any of these problems, then you are likely to be Gluten Sensitive.

The books that tell you much more about this are:

So what's the real reason behind grumpiness in gluten sensitive people?

The toxic component of the gluten is a protein called gliadin. Your immune system is constantly defending your body against attack – from bugs and from allergens. Unfortunately, gluten/gliadin is a strong allergen.

Thus, your body attacks gliadin by using a weapon called “antibodies”. These antibodies can repel gliadin. However, the outcome of this immune fight (against gliadin) is the production of antibodies that are specifically targeted towards gliadin: these are called “anti-gliadin antibodies”, or shortened to “gliadin antibodies”. It probably makes you ill through upsetting your body’s nervous system.
