Did you know that May is National Celiac Awareness Month?
With that in mind, I bring you: “I is for the Immune System & Inflammation“ – which we’re exploring it in depth this week.
I must admit, this is probably my favorite video in “A Gluten Primer, Everything You Wanted to Know From A – Z” video series!
I even bring in an Army & a Cannon! (Yes really – an Army).
But what is the connection, you might ask? And what does Gluten Sensitivity have to do with your Immune System & inflammation?
Whether Celiac Disease or another autoimmune condition (Hashimoto’s anyone?), gluten sensitivity, food sensitivities in general, or life-threatening allergies – even heart disease – your immune system is involved each and every time.
How do you know if gluten is a problem for you?
You pay close attention to how your body is communicating with you – meaning all those signs & symptoms, be it digestive complaints, neurological issues (numbness & tingling in your fingers or toes, foggy thinking), headaches or migraines, aches & pains throughout your body, weight gain and more.
And yes – inflammation!
Hint: Even though Celiac disease affects only 1 in 6 people – Gluten Sensitivity is known to be 6-20 times MORE common. Which means you might not be as lucky as you think. Knowing where you fall on this spectrum for gluten intolerance is key to managing your long-term health – & can’t be stressed enough.
