Why Gluten Free All of a Sudden?

Many people have wondered, "What's the deal with gluten free. Why Gluten Free all of a sudden". Did everyone get some infection, and now they're all gluten free?

The answer I believe, is a little involved. For one, not everyone who benefits from gluten free, has celiac disease. And therefore, there are a range of symptoms and reactions, some subtle, some not so subtle. So people may have had this problem in the past, just not been aware of it. That is to say, they had symptoms, but no clue as to the origin of symptoms. Or, sometimes people have symptoms of something, but they just assume that's part of life, and there's nothing they can do about it.

For people who actually HAVE celiac disease, avoidance of gluten can be a godsend. Its
quite amazing how dramatically, and sometimes quickly symptoms can resolve. So, contrary to what you're doctor may have been telling you, its NOT all in your head.

Sometimes gluten intolerance can be accompanied by intolerance to dairy. So if you've tried gluten free, and symptoms have improved, but not completely, you might try avoiding dairy for 30 days to see how that suits you. The dairy avoidance doesn't necessarily have to be permanent. For some people, going through a period of avoiding dairy and gluten, allows your gut to heal. You may then be able to re-introduce the dairy as a once in a while thing, without problem. Remember that raw dairy is a completely different animal (pun intended!). Raw dairy has all sorts of wonderful enzymes that help your body digest. These enzymes are destroyed by pasteurization. In some progressive states, raw dairy is legal for human consumption. (CA for example). Raw dairy is subject to much more stringent requirements than pasteurized dairy (must have radically lower bacteria count). Therefore, raw dairy is actually safer than pasteurized, and MUCH healthier. Some people who can't consume pasteurized dairy, have no problem with raw dairy.

There is another important factor in the explosion of the gluten free issue. That is GMO crops. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. You see, corporate America thought they weren't making enough money off us already. And of course they think they're MUCH smarter than mother nature. So they decided to mess with the genetic structure of plants and seeds. Thus, the wheat we eat today, barely resembles traditional wheat. Call it coincidence, but the gluten free explosion, has virtually mirrored the onslaught of GMO wheat in America.
