Gliaden is one of the issues for we celiacs, and the initial bloodtest does measure this.

This is a cardiologist selling his book. While there may or may not be merit to what he is claiming, the involved motives are somewhat suspect.

My wife and I don’t necessarily mind the fad gluten free diet, since it makes it easier for us to find a greater amount of food that doesn’t make me or the twins sick. But I do sometimes worry about the after-effect when the fad disappears. While some people might see some benefit from adopting the diet, for myself and two of the fearsome fivesome, it’s an absolute necessity.

IIRC, wasn’t Dr. Atkins a “cardiologist selling his book” as well?

The good news is the incidence is increasing ~ your chance of developing it increases with age. They don't quite know what the deal is, but it probably has to do with some quite ordinary process where genes are turned on or off.

The bad news is they keep pumping more gluten into wheat ~

“This is a cardiologist selling his book.”

If he was a good cardiologist he would have so much money and work he wouldn’t have time or the necessity to write a book!
