A number of research studies have linked gluten sensitivity to different forms of heart disease. The first study below discusses gluten induced autoimmune disease of the heart. The second study discusses how malabsorption of nutrients (in this case carnitine deficiency) induces cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle)… Autoimmune Heart Disease Acute pericarditis (inflammation of the […]

As a matter of fact, this is one of the reasons why so many patients fail to get properly diagnosed. Lab tests have traditionally focused on diagnosing celiac disease.

Source: Bipolar Disord. 2011 Feb;13(1):52-8. Research continues to show the link between gluten […]
A link between celiac disease and growth hormone deficiency in children has been identified. Source: Clin Med Res. 2006 Sep;4(3):180-3. Gluten is a known endocrine (hormone) disruptor. Research has linked gluten sensitivity contributing to abnormalities in thyroid, progesterone, estrogen, pituitary, prolactin, and more. Growth hormone is a powerful stimulator of proper growth in children. It […]
