I know a number of women who cannot eat gluten or they get really sick but who don’t necessarily feel really well even when they don’t eat gluten. This has been puzzling me, since I have continued to get healthier and healthier.
So, I asked my trusted chiropractor and here’s his perspective from his clinical observation: He hasn’t seen people really get healthy and recover from celiac if they haven’t gotten desensitized to gluten.
So, what does this mean? There are a number of ways to desensitize to gluten. He uses Applied Kinesiology. NAET or similar ways of desensitizing energetically use tapping along the meridians, acupressure/acupuncture, and others. Energy Psychology methods, such as EFT and TAT have been used to desensitize people to allergens also.
When he first diagnosed the celiac, he would test me each visit for gluten sensitivity, even though I wasn’t eating gluten. And I would test weak, week after week. He would repeat the desensitization process, and then gradually, my body began to stay strong when tested. It has now been a number of months since my body has tested weak for gluten. This doesn’t mean that I can now eat it, though, perhaps for someone who had just developed a sensitivity from eating so much of it, they could begin introducing some of it, if they wanted.
If this is you, and you knew how to do muscle testing, you could do this for yourself to see if it’s safe for you to consume gluten again, and even find out how much and what kind would be okay for you to eat. More on this in a later post.
But, if you do not produce the enzyme that breaks down the gluten fraction called gliadin, then it will never be good for you to eat gluten, no matter how desensitized you become. Celiac.com can help you begin to understand this more: http://www.celiac.com/articles/8/1/What-is-gluten-What-is-gliadin/Page1.html.
Wishing you a happier and healthier tomorrow!
