Gluten Research Update: Cesarean Section, Breast Feeding, Noocebo Effects and the ‘Right’ & ‘Wrong’ Bacterial ‘Poop’

Written by | published on

As read on the SV Facebook : Baking makes gluten resilient to digestion, the presence of protein does the opposite. The food matrix makes the difference. In view of the fact that "gluten" is or isn't (literally) in everyone's mouth or tummy, I thought that it may make sense to keep you up-to-date on the latest interesting  research in the area of non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. Don't worry I am not going to bother you with the typical Internet bogus about how cancer, obesity and everything else we are or are not suffering from (yet) is triggered by gluten. What I will do, though, is to summarize and discuss the results of two recent studies and one review on the connection between our microbiome and our very individual susceptibility to gluten-related health problems You can learn more about the gut & your health at the SuppVersity Fiber for Female Fat Loss Sweeteners & Your Gut Foods, Not Ma- cros for the Gut Lactu...

The Gluten Solution: Aspergillus Niger-Derived Enzyme May Make "Gluten-Free" Redundant - Enzyme Supplementation Reduces the Amount of Gliadin in the Duodenum by 80-90%

Can a pill simulate "gluten-free"? The problem with gluten (if there is one, after all we are not  all suffering from coeliac disease) is that its proline-peptides cannot be digested by any of the enzymes in the human intestinal tract. Therefore, the long proline-rich gluten peptides reach the small intestine intact after ingestion where they are the driving motors of coeliac disease in 1% of the population, in whom the specific amino acid sequences of such poorly digested proline-rich gluten peptides triggers an abnormal immune response. More recently, though, studies have shown that less pronounced adverse reactions to gluten consumption can occur even in subjects who don't suffer from coeliac disease. As Salden et al. point out, "[p]resently non-coeliac gluten sensitivity has been clinically recognised as a separate condition in which neither allergic nor autoimmune mechanisms are involved" (Salden. 2015). Accordingly, the results of the latest study f...

Is Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Legit? A Review of the Latest Scientific Evidence on NCGS by Alex Leaf (Guestpost)

Written by | published on

Is it scientifically warranted to caution against the consumption of gluten? A couple weeks ago a paper was published that made headlines on several news outlets, including (of course) some paleo blogs (Di Sabatino. 2015). They all pretty much screamed that nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) was real in a “See! I told you so!” kind of way. Unfortunately it appears that most of them couldn’t make it past the abstract, so let’s start over. NCGS is the term used to describe people who show intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms in response to consuming gluten, despite not having celiac disease or a wheat allergy.

Study Says: Wheat Belly is All in Australians' Head. And in Fact, the Peer-Reviewed Scientific Evidence for Non-Celiac Gluten-Sensitivity is Scarce, But Probably Not Non-Existent

From a paper in the Journal of Cereal Science : Histological structure of wheat grain showing bioactive components which are related to the fiber fraction of wheat and are present in whole meal but absent in refined flour. (Brouns. 2013). A recent study from the CSIRO Food Futures National Research Flagship and the University of Adelaide says: The data indicate that many adult Australians are consciously avoiding consumption of wheat foods, predominantly without any formal diagnosis. Reported symptoms suggest a physiological but not allergenic basis to this behavior. Can this be? Can your "gluten intolerance" really be in your head? Certainly it can, it's what scientists call a nocebo effect: A situation, where a harmless substance taken by a patient is associated with harmful effects due to negative expectations or the psychological condition of the patient. But wheat is no harmless substance, right? Certainly not. At least not for those people who suffer fro...

Gluten Free, But not Suitable For Celiacs: Milk, Chocolate, Corn, Instant Coffee and 20 Other Foods & Food Ingredients That Could Cross-React With Gluten Anti-Bodies

Unless you got the right, i.e. breast milk as a baby and have rendered your gut "gluten proof" - being breast fed, when you are first exposed (or being exposed later in life) has after all been suggested as a protective factor (Farrell. 2005) This is not going to be a long post; and still, at least for some of you it is going to be an important post. A post that may have the potential to change your life for the better or for the worse depending on whether you actually suffer from gluten-intolerance or have simply been bamboozeled by the "gluten is the devil" messages that are plastered all over the Internet these days. Actually, I would hope that you belong to neither of the groups and can thus simply ignore this post. For the unfortunate rest, I have prepared a mini-summary of the results of a recent study from the Immunosciences Lab in Los Angeles (Vojdani. 2013) Milk and cornflakes - a killer combo A couple of recent studies, as well as reports from p...
