New book, Gluten Nation, explores the many ways gluten can wreak havoc in your life if you are sensitive – well over 20 million Americans are gluten sensitive and most do not know it. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. In the world of science and medicine, it is widely known that wheat is the primary cause of celiac disease, a debilitating chronic inflammatory disease affecting the intestine. What is not so widely known is that gluten sensitivity runs a spectrum — only the worst cases becoming celiac disease. This “grain of pain” is a contributing factor in many illnesses, including autoimmune diseases, arthritis, autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia and more.
