I was conversing with a friend and she was reflecting on how I have changed (health-wise) since I have cleaned up my diet. The biggest thing that caught my attention was her thought process on how I have removed gluten from diet, which was something I used to eat daily (whole grains, oatmeal, high fiber wraps, etc) and did not have too big of GI problems, but if I were to now have a slice of bread it would wipe me out. Bottom line, through observation she concluded I made myself gluten intolerant by removing gluten containing foods from my diet.
My thoughts – how I wish that were true and gluten allergies were to be that simple.
What I was dealing with was worse than an acute inflammatory response that someone with Cealiac disease would experience. I was coping with a chronic inflammatory (which is worse) response where my symptoms were quiet and less obvious.
Such non-specific chronic inflammatory conditions can be related to poor digestion function and symtoms can be joint pain, seasonal allergies, stubborn weight loss or lack of, infertility, dyslexia, eczema, asthma, acne, fatigue, depression, anxiety and the list goes on.l0i7
A chronic inflammatory response turns into systemic inflammation and that is a bad, bad thing.
