GLUTEN & OTHER FOOD INTOLERANCES

[Guest guest]

thought this might be of interest to you. I found it while surfing the www....... GLUTEN & OTHER FOOD INTOLERANCESThere is growing public awareness of food intolerances, and allergies in general. More and more people are discovering that they are adversely affected by foods of various kinds. Food manufacturers are starting to provide low-allergy foods, and gradually friends and families of those affected are becoming more understanding.But the scope of symptoms and disorders that can be caused by food intolerances is still largely misunderstood, so many people remain undiagnosed and suffer unnecessarily. This page is intended to give you a overview of some of the new knowledge and to enable you to have a better idea whether you or someone you know might be affected.There are a number of terms used to describe adverse reactions to foods - allergy, intolerance, addiction (as we are often addicted to foods we react badly to), sensitivity. For the purposes of this article, any of these can be taken as terms to describe anywhere on the whole spectrum of reactions.Although there are many foods (and other substances) that we can be sensitive too, gluten is possibly the most common and the most under-diagnosed. Many people feel that it is also one possible cause of other sensitivities. So for this article, we'll be focusing mostly on gluten, though most of what is discussed is applicable to other foods as well.Covered on this page: What are the different types of sensitivities?Why does gluten cause so many problems?How common is gluten intolerance?What symptoms indicate gluten intolerance?How can I get gluten intolerance diagnosed?What should I do next?I already know I need to be gluten free - take me straight to the page on how to do it!http://www.frot.co.nz/dietnet/basics/gluten.htm «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»§ - PULSE ON 21st CENTURY ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE! §Subscribe send email to: - «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»GREAT VACATION RENTAL ON THE LAKE: www.vacationhomerentals.com/39833
