The doctor is in... doctors do more than just diagnosis, they educate, or at least that is what they should be doing. So that's what I'm going to do here.
We hear alot (ALOT) about gluten sensitivity. Many think it's just something that will upset your stomach, cause reactions, or symptoms of fatigue, or just make you feel icky! However, it is so much more than that. There are interrelated responses in the body occurring.
When you introduce gluten in a susceptible individual it can trigger damage to the intestinal mucosa, impairing nutrient absorption and creating B12, mineral, and vitamin D deficiencies, in addition to upregulating the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (known as GALT) and activating a system immune response that can, in turn lead to oxidative stress and imbalances in thyroid and hormones.
Further more the inflammation (through other weird names like PPARs, TNF-a) increase insulin resistance, impairing fatty acid oxidation and leading to changes in body composition.
What an extraordinary outcome form the ingestion of a single component of some very common foods.
There are tests that can be done to check if you have gluten issues or if you are heading in that direction. Preventive tests like Regulation Thermography are a great way to test the physiology of the whole body. From the health of the organs, to the lymphatic system, nervous system and more.
