Gluten-free diet should not be eaten by people who are not coeliac, say scientists

Im an insülin deppendent Diabetic and have hypertrothıc cardiomayopathy with AF . I also have Ostioporosi Hep c Pancritise After going on a gluten free diet to Loose weight i found that that all My joınt and swelling in My Ankles and face had gone down and My refluxes had eased plus My body pain stopped too . I feel so Much better going gluten free that i ive stayed on it now know that i im gluten intolerance

I went gluten free about 2 years ago.  My chronic fatigue has improved dramatically, my joint pain  almost non existent.  My skin improved too,  I had "odd" pimple type skin on my thighs and upper arms which has gone. I also lost all the gastro intestinal problems like bloating and colic. I did find it difficult to eat out here in Ireland as almost everything has some gluten in it. Because of the negative comments around gluten free and under the advice of my endocrinologist (I have type 2 diabetes) I returned to eating bread and gluten and all my symptoms returned with a vengeance.  I had to go to bed again every afternoon , sometimes also in the morning,  my daily walk was curtailed and my colic was horrendous. My blood sugar was rising and more medication was offered. I felt awful.

I have now started a keto diet(endocrinologist doesn't know yet) with no carbs and definitely no grains/gluten and after 4 weeks feel amazing.  My blood sugars are normal and all other complaints gone. So I will be staying carb and so gluten free,  It suits me.   I am eating more natural non processed foods,  the food we eat today is so mass produced and even the grains we eat are designed to have more gluten for the modern market. Going gluten free made me read every label and ask about every product and the amount of gluten we eat in foods that are not grain based is amazing eg gravy.  If grains are so important to heart health then do celiacs have a higher risk of heart disease?And if so is it actually related to not eating grains or something else. Do eskimos? I just think non celiac gluten intolerance is just how some bodies deal with overload. Maybe gluten and grains do not suit everyone. If you don't have an issue then eat it,  if you have then dont. 

I have suffered with what most G.P's  call IBS for years but never constipation, ever!  Since minor surgery 3 years ago things have improved but I still have to be careful about my diet, although am not strictly,  apart from eating less meat unless I buy free range (also because of animal welfare reasons).   My G.P  suggested a year ago that I try cutting out or reducing onions and garlic and  certain vegetables and fruit.  A specialist nurse 3 years ago suggested I eat gluten-free bread and some gluten-free products to see if this helped with symptoms such as excessive gas.  It has.  However I am not completely or strictly gluten-free, but when I eat out I do sometimes go for gluten-free pizza, etc. or other gluten-free choices, if offered, but not always.  It is a choice for me probably and not a necessity, but by eating SOME gluten-free products mixed in with other gluten food products, I now have a pretty good idea about  the ingredients etc that affect my "IBS" symptoms!

My wife has primary progressive MS. Since she has been GF her energy levels have rocketed, her T2 diabetes has gone and she is no longer fatigued. We are informed that gluten causes inflammation of the gut. It certainly works for us.

Hi

I am gluten and wheat intolerant although many of my family are coeliac. I have always been overweight despite having a good diet but now find huge bloating after eating certain foods like bread, potato, pasta and white rice. I used to suffer from bowel problems when I mixed certain foods like red meat and bread however since I became more aware of my intolerances I have less problems. Still I like to push the barriers and have breaded chicken sometimes. At present my weigh loss journey has plateaued but hopefully by taking check of things it will move on sooner rather than later.

Thanks Folks
