I really enjoyed the presentation. I subscribed to her monthly newsletter and ordered her book. I also decided to look for an organic, gluten free shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I think I'm going to show this to the diabetes group next month.
@Brunneria I've always been told that if you have any chronic conditions that aren't getting better to consider celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. My understanding is that you'll know within three weeks if going completely gluten-free is making a difference. When I went gluten-free in 2011, I went through withdrawal. I didn't feel better until I found a gluten-free bread that I liked and a gluten-free baker who I'd buy from once a week so I could have a daily treat.
I believe one of the points she made was that both gluten (wheat, barley, rye) and casein (dairy) have a morphine effect on the brain which would explain the withdrawal symptoms I had. Am I remembering that right?
I don't eat bread anymore and only have a paleo, organic, gluten-free muffin or cookie once a week now because I eat low carb, so not sure withdrawal would be an issue for me today. I'm not ready to give up dairy, so buy organic butter from pastured cows, and I try to buy cheeses that are organic and made from raw milk.
Good luck.
