Are you wondering if you have a gluten intolerance? I have a surprise for you. It’s easier to find out than you think!
Dr. Rodney Ford M.D. is a pediatrician, gastroenterologist, allergist, and founder of the term “gluten syndrome.” Upon graduation from medical school, he began practicing as a pediatric allergist, holding a vested interest in which foods are bad for the body and why. Gluten was slowly gaining attention, but doctors still believed the mutated protein was only questionable for people with celiac disease.
Dr. Ford believed otherwise based on his experience with his patients. When one of his patients had already tested negative for celiac disease but was still showing obvious signs of the disease, against the counsel of his fellow medical experts, he instructed her mother to remove gluten from her diet altogether. Within a few days, her mother wrote back to him that her daughter seemed to heal miraculously!
Dr. Ford tested at least 1200 more children in addition to collaborating with other researchers on case studies, confirming their suspicions that gluten is not good for anyone! Studies show wheat contains gluten and a few other protein substances that are harmful to the body. Everyone who consumes gluten has an inflammatory reaction due to Zonulin which is suggested to be found within gluten. The chemical makes your gut leaky and sparks a multitude of issues you may be unaware of.

In short, if you’re wondering if you have an aversion of any kind to gluten, the answer is yes! No one’s body is capable of breaking down these indestructible proteins and you’re most likely experiencing at least one of these side effects because of gluten consumption.
