Gluten Cross-Reactions. It isn't just in your gut!

In this episode we will discuss some less-known concepts around gluten and how it can impact areas of the body, seemingly unrelated to the digestive system. As it turns out, upwards of 70% of gluten reactions are located in the brain and nervous system... Not in the gut! This episode will focus on the topic of "cross-reactivity," which translates into "cases of mistaken identity." Sometimes the immune system just can't tell the difference. Learn some foods which look and act a lot like gluten for the gluten sensitive population, and what tissues in the body also look a lot like gluten. Lastly, we will discuss how gluten and autoimmune disease can be linked. This episode takes the basic concepts of gluten sensitivity and exposes the darker reality.
