Articles about gluten-free lifestyle has popped up everywhere lately and dubbed as a fad for many. The Wall Street Journal had an article this week titled, “Giving Up Gluten To Lose Weight? Not So Fast“. I read these articles and am glad to know that there is attention to these sensitivities and the need to get the information out there to the public. I do believe that for those looking to lose weight that gluten-free portions of your day may help in the overall plan. In addition for some of those people who may be slightly overweight and have allergies, immune disorders, sleepiness or other odd symptoms that don’t make them feel really alive when they wake in the morning to go get it checked out. It’s not normal and could be related to a food or possibly gluten. I’m not a doctor, so don’t go changing your diet without thorough investigation, but be open to the possibility that what you are intaking could be a problem.

Oh and if gluten is your problem, you’ll likely lose some weight, but most likely water and general bloating from your body trying to protect itself from the inflammations. So yes you will lose some pudge.

Wanted: Research on Cause of Gluten Allergies

Check out this article that just came out from LiveScience.com about the research to pinpointing the causes of gluten allergies. This article makes me so happy that there are people in the world doing the research to understand how it’s effecting the immune system and how to start helping people with it. They have a found that certain gluten peptides are responsible for generating most of their patients reactions.

After reading the article I can start seeing many connections to eczema as a form of symptom to a gluten sensitivity and/or full blown allergy. Finally someone is coming up with the true root cause of a problem rather than just trying to fix the aftermath of a breakout. The research is mainly held in Australia currently and news has spread around the world. Let’s hope they can learn more and come up with some solutions and connections to something like eczema and other immune reactions that people suffer from.
