Send us a textDiagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and feeling like your future has been hijacked? This powerful episode reveals why you were made for so much more than pain, fatigue, and limitation.Dawn unpacks three compelling reasons why 2025 should be the year you finally say "YES" to investing in yourself. First, she explains how understanding the science behind your condition can transform your perspective on healing. Drawing on Dr. Alessio Fasano's groundbreaking "three-legged stool" autoimmune theory, she breaks down the critical relationship between your genetics, gut health, and environmental triggers in a way that's easy to grasp and immediately actionable.You'll discover why intestinal permeability (leaky gut) represents a critical piece of the autoimmune puzzle and how addressing this single factor can dramatically reduce symptoms. Dawn's explanation of how hormones, trauma, stress, and infections serve as potential triggers delivers those "aha moments" that connect seemingly unrelated health challenges to your RA symptoms.Most importantly, this episode challenges the narrative that autoimmune disease only leads to decline. Instead, Dawn shares how addressing the modifiable factors can not only improve current symptoms but actually "future-proof" your health against other concerns like frequent illness, difficult menopause transitions, and elevated heart disease risk. From her perspective as someone stronger at 54 than ever before—despite having RA—she offers tangible hope that you too can move from merely surviving to genuinely thriving.Ready to reclaim your energy and rediscover joy?

Gluten has become one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern nutrition. Let's set the record straight. In this episode, we untangle the medical, neurological, and cultural narratives surrounding gluten, from celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity to real (and rare) cases of gluten-induced brain dysfunction. We discuss: • The differences between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy • How gluten affects the gut, and what ‘leaky gut' really means • Whether gluten can trigger neurological symptoms like ataxia and brain fog • Why cutting out gluten without a diagnosis may do more harm than good • How wheat contributes to a healthy microbiome (and why fiber matters) • What role zonulin plays in gut permeability and immune activation • Why brain fog isn't yet well understood (and the theories behind it) To help us decode the science (and bust the myths) of gluten, nutrition, and the brain, we're joined by two world-renowned experts: DR. ALESSIO FASANO: pediatric gastroenterologist, research scientist, and chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at Mass General for Children (MGfC), and director of the Center for Celiac Research. DR. FRANK CUSIMANO: gastroenterologist, physician-scientist, and gut-brain health communicator with a PhD in Nutritional and Metabolic Biology from Columbia University Institute of Human Nutrition. This is... Your Brain On Gluten. ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neurologists, scientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. ‘Your Brain On...

For thousands of years, medicine revolved around one simple truth—all disease begins in the gut. The ancient healers, from Hippocrates to the early Roman physicians, saw digestion as the key to health, using fermented foods, fasting, and herbal remedies to restore balance. Then, everything changed. With the rise of Germ Theory, antibiotics, and industrialized medicine, doctors stopped treating the gut and started waging war on bacteria. This shift erased centuries of wisdom, leading to an explosion of autoimmune disease, mental health disorders, and metabolic dysfunction—all traced back to the gut. But now, science is proving what medicine once knew. Thanks to pioneers like Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Dr. Sidney Baker, and Dr. Alessio Fasano, and the groundbreaking Human Microbiome Project, we are finally rediscovering the gut's true power.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: How the ancient Greek and Roman physicians treated disease The four humors of health  The rise of Germ Theory 200 years of medical mistakes and hubris and the price humanity has paid How the 2007 Microbiome Project changed science forever What our future can look like if we polay our cards right   Did you like this episode?

Is "leaky gut" real or just another wellness buzzword? In this episode of The Gut Health Podcast, we cut through the controversy with Dr. Alessio Fasano, a renowned gastroenterologist and microbiome expert from Mass General Brigham. Dr. Fasano explains what happens when the gut's protective barrier is compromised, resulting in increased intestinal permeability, and how this can affect not only gut health but also overall well-being. While some level of intestinal permeability is essential for health, in the presence of an altered gut microbiome, it can allow harmful molecules such as bacterial endotoxins and undigested food particles to pass through the intestinal lining. This can lead to inflammation, immune system activation, and may contribute to a variety of health issues, including autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, and more. We explore the molecular mechanisms that control intestinal permeability, examining how factors like epigenetic changes, diet, stress, and environmental factors can all impact the integrity of the gut barrier. Dr. Fasano breaks down the latest research on how intestinal permeability interacts with the immune system and other organ systems, highlighting the complex bidirectional relationship between gut health and overall wellness. Join us as we explore cutting-edge research on gut health, from breakthrough treatments to personalized diets and biomarkers for gut permeability. Tune in for expert insights and practical strategies—like a plant-forward diet and stress management—to strengthen your gut and overall well-being. References:Effects of dietary components on intestinal permeability in health and disease. Unfermented B-fructans Fibers Fuel Inflammation in Select Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients. High FODMAP diet causes barrier loss via lipopolysaccharide-mediate mast cell activationA Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial of Dietary Glutamine Supplements for Post-Infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome.Bovine Colostrum in Increased Intestinal Permeability in Healthy Athletes and Patients: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials. What to do about the leaky gut?Learn more about Kate and Dr. Riehl:Website: www.katescarlata.com and www.drriehl.comInstagram: @katescarlata @drriehl and @theguthealthpodcastOrder Kate and Dr. Riehl's book, Mind Your Gut: The Science-Based, Whole-body Guide to Living Well with IBS.

Could gluten sensitivity be causing neurological problems in your life?  World-renowned expert in celiac disease, autoimmunity, and the gut microbiome, Alessio Fasano, MD, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Harvard, is my guest today.  Over 2500 years ago, Hippocrates stated “All disease begins in the leaky gut” and now Dr. Fasano is helping us understand why that is true.  In 2000, he and his team discovered Zonulin, a protein that makes the gut hyperpermeable, hence the term “leaky gut. This was a major breakthrough in our understanding of health and disease.   Dr. Fasano is a  professor at Harvard Medical School as well as in the Harvard School of Nutrition. I think you will enjoy his compassion, curiosity, and humility as he shares his research journey from Naples, Italy, with us.

Our 400th episode was loaded with so many surprises and fantastic information, that we kept the celiac awareness party going into June! This week, we throw the curtain back for Episode 401, where Mike and Cam have their pressing questions answered by Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl and Dr. Alessio Fasano! Plus, GI psychologist, Dr. Elyse Bedell, also shares great information on dealing with the psychological and social effects of celiac, and some tips to help you navigate emotions when times get tough.

Dr. Alessio Fasano, who is considered the world's leading expert in celiac disease and gluten-related disorders, returns for his second appearance on STEM-Talk. Although just 2 million Americans have celiac disease, an estimated 20 million Americans suffer from gluten sensitivity. Alessio is a professor and director of the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. In addition to celiac disease and gluten-related disorders, Alessio's research is also focused on the microbiome, intestinal permeability and autoimmune disorders, which he discussed in his first interview on STEM-Talk, episode 20. Since Alessio's first appearance on STEM-Talk in 2016, he has published two books, “Gluten Freedom” and “Gut Feelings: The Microbiome and Our Health,” which we discuss in today's interview. We also talk to Alessio about an exciting new project that's bringing together an international consortium of researchers and scientists for a long-term study that will follow infants who are genetically at risk of developing celiac. Alessio is a researcher and physician who wears many hats. He is the director of the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment and chief of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at Mass General Hospital. He also is a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a professor of nutrition at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Show notes: [00:03:58] Marcas opens the interview welcoming Alessio back to STEM-Talk, mentioning that since his last appearance he has written two books: Gluten Freedom and Gut Feelings: The Microbiome and Our Health. Marcas asks Alessio how he became interested in pediatrics and gastroenterology. [00:05:42] Ken mentions that Alessio moved to the U.S. in the 1990s and spent 20 years in Maryland at the Center for Vaccine Development in Baltimore. Ken goes on to mention that while Alessio was there, he founded The Center for Celiac Research in 1996, and in 2003, Alessio accepted an offer to join Massachusetts General Hospital. Ken asks how that move came about. [00:08:53] Marcas asks about Alessio's early career working on cholera, where he discovered the zonula occuldens toxin, the bacteria that causes cholera. Marcas asks Alessio to talk about this finding and the insights he gleaned from it. [00:16:03] Ken asks about Alessio's discovery of zonulin, which is the molecule that modulates gut permeability in humans. Ken asks Alessio to share how this discovery led him to investigate celiac disease, which is triggered by gluten. [00:20:25] Ken asks Alessio what his thoughts are on why the medical community, historically, has not taken celiac disease seriously. [00:24:08] Marcas mentions that as we age, there is evidence that the gut becomes leakier, which is highly related to chronic inflammation. Marcas asks Alessio whether this happens to the gut over time due to diet and lifestyle rather than the typical aging process. [00:28:45] Ken mentions that there has been an increase in the diagnosis of celiac disease. Ken asks Alessio if that is due to an actual increase in the prevalence of the disease, or is it tied to a growing appreciation that clinicians have now for the disease? [00:29:32] Marcas mentions that Alessio's book, Gluten Freedom, which he co-authored with his colleague Susie Flaherty, was referred to by the Celiac Disease Foundation as “a must have,” and “an excellent reference for those with gluten related disorders.” Marcas asks Alessio about this reception to his book. [00:31:24] Marcas mentions that the only viable treatment for individuals with celiac disease has been a gluten-free diet, with pharmaceutical companies having had little interest until recently in investigating the disease. Now there are more than 20 drug therapies in development for celiac. Marcas asks Alessio about the progress being made to develop pharmacological interventions for celiac.

Dr. Clayton also stressed the importance of addressing stress and emotional well-being, shedding light on comprehensive approaches to improving your overall health. This episode provides a wealth of information on the importance of an anti-inflammatory diet, the impact of mold toxins on the body, and the interconnectedness of the immune system, gut health, and stress response. Discover the benefits of the Autoimmune Paleo Diet  The autoimmune paleo (AIP) diet is specifically designed to reduce inflammation in the body and improve overall health by eliminating pro-inflammatory foods. Following the AIP protocol for a minimum of three to four weeks allows the body to heal and reduces inflammation significantly. This diet has shown promising results in individuals with autoimmune diseases seeking to improve their health through dietary changes. Avoid anti-inflammatory foods  Certain foods, such as wheat, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, shellfish, and nightshades, are known to contribute to inflammation and should be avoided in an anti-inflammatory diet like AIP. Nourishing herbs and gut-recovery protocols can aid in repairing the gut lining and addressing bacterial overgrowth. Removing these inflammatory foods and incorporating healing herbs can significantly reduce inflammation and improve overall health. Learn effective strategies for overall health  Stress management and emotional well-being play a crucial role in promoting overall health and reducing inflammation. Incorporating stress-reducing techniques like brain retraining and relaxation practices can help lower cortisol levels and support immune system recovery. By optimizing structural, chemical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of your life, you can live a vibrant and healthy life.

Pourquoi parle-t-on autant du gluten et des produits laitiers?  «Notre façon de manger influence notre santé dans un bon ou dans un mauvais sens»  Dr Jean SeignaletAujourd'hui je vous parle de gluten et de produits laitiers…Quoi en penser? Pourquoi? Est-ce une mode? Est-ce que je devrais m'y pencher? Bien j'espère que ce balado va pouvoir vous aiguiller. Parce que ça fait tellement partie de notre alimentation, je dirais même de notre culture, qu'on ne soupçonne pas que ça puisse nous nuire. En passant, je ne suis pas là pour démoniser qui ou quoi que ce soit. Mais parce que les gens autour de moi ont des questions, j'ai pensé que vous en aviez aussi. On veut comprendre l'engouement du SANS GLUTEN, pour ou contre les produits laitiers, c'est quoi cette histoire du SANS LACTOSE…Je commencerais par dire «il ne faut pas croire tout ce qu'on entend» il est important de faire ses propres recherches, qui dit quoi, quand, comment, pourquoi?  La science se positionne, se trompe, se redéfinie.  Nous évoluons en tant qu'humain. Une chance! Nos choix ne sont jamais définitifs. Tout change. La science aussi évolue. Mais je me questionne…Pourquoi autant de gens malades?  Est-ce que revoir son alimentation est une piste nécessaire?  (si vous voulez mon opinion, je dirais que l'alimentation est primordiale pour une démarche de santé optimale). Ne serait-ce que se sentir mieux, déjà c'est important! Ce que je souhaite vous transmettre aujourd'hui ce sont des perches, des références qui pourront vous éclairer.  Voilà ce dont il sera question.  @lebaladodespossibles  pour me suivre…Vous avez aimé ce balado, partager-le! Références: Jean Seignalet, L'alimentation ou la 3e médecine, 5e éditions,  Collection Écologie Humaine François Xavier de Guibert, 658 pages.Jacqueline Lagacé, Comment j'ai vaincu la douleur par l'alimentation, Éditions FIDES, 2011David Perlmutter, Kristin Loberg, Brain grain, Éditions Little Brown and company, 2013Julien Vanesson, Gluten, comment le blé moderne nous intoxique, Éditions Thierry Souccar, 2013Élise Desaulniers, Vache à lait ou 10 mythes de l'industrie laitière, aux éditions Stanké, paru en 2013, 192p.Dr Alessio Fasano, Se libérer du gluten, éditions Marabout, 2017Molkhou, P., « La sensibilité au gluten non maladie cœliaque.

Food allergies are super common. According to the American College of Asthma and Immunology and the CDC, about 5% of kids and about 4% of adults are affected by food allergies. The allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and life threatening. Food allergy symptoms are most common in babies and children, but they can appear at any age. You can even develop an allergy to foods you have eaten for years with no problem (bummer). As we learned in our previous episode about Celiac Disease with Dr. Alessio Fasano, when we restrict people's diets, it can create a really stressful and isolating situation for them. How can we support people with food allergies? Can we treat the allergies? Are food allergies actually more prevalent now than they have been historically? Thankfully, we have our friend and renowned expert in the field of Allergy and Immunology to help us understand more!   Welcome, Dave Stukus, MD! Dr. Stukus (DR. DAVE!!) is a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Allergy/Immunology Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

The Case:  Alison has Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's and also experiences tons of digestion issues.  She often feels gassy and bloated and has trouble going to the bathroom. She's tried taking all types of probiotics, eating super nutritious fermented foods, and done several colon cleanses, but nothing helped.    The Investigation When I met Alison, she explained that she had taken gut-support vitamins and eaten a healthy diet. However, I could see right away that she was missing a few big clues in solving her health mystery.    Gluten, Gut Health, and Hashimoto's I've talked a lot about the connection between Hashimoto's and our gut on the podcast in the past. I knew that this was at the core of solving Alison's issues. To discuss it further, I invited Dr. Vincent Pedre, aka America's Gut Doctor, to the show.  Dr. Pedre is an internist and the author of the upcoming book The Gutsmart Protocol.  One of the first things he brings up is the connection between Hashimoto's and gut health as well as gluten. We've talked a lot about this connection on the Health Mysteries Solved podcast - including my own journey with Hashimoto's and gluten. Dr. Pedre shared the work of Alessio Fasano, who studied the effects of gluten on the gut and how gluten can trigger autoimmunity. He discovered that gluten triggers the release of a protein called Zonulin, which increases gut permeability. This leads to leaky gut, which can eventually result in autoimmunity. Dr. Pedre also explained that there are three key factors in the development of autoimmune diseases: genetic predisposition, environmental triggers (such as gluten), and leaky gut. He went on to explain that one of the enzymes that helps break down gluten, called tissue transglutaminase, can create a chimeric molecule that can be recognized by the body's immune system as an invader. This can lead to an antibody response and cross-reactivity, especially with the thyroid where tissue transglutaminase is found in high concentration. The Power of a Food Journal One of the best ways to solve a health mystery involving gut health is to keep track of everything that is being eaten. Dr. Pedre uses this technique to help him diagnose issues but also finds that the activity really helps patients better understand their own triggers. So often we are unaware of all of the things we put in our mouth - especially when we don't know all of the ingredients in the food we eat. Dr. Pedre shared a powerful story about one of his patients having a complete epiphany after keeping a food journal for just a few days. This mindful practice helps us better connect with our eating and be better advocates for our own health. It reminds us that everything we eat is feeding our microbiome.  Balancing the Microbiome is Complex  Many people think that the answer to balancing the microbiome is to take a probiotic, but Dr. Pedre explains that it's far more complex than that. And, because our microbiome controls so many aspects of our health, it's imperative that we keep it balanced.  He explains that, while probiotics are helpful, they are just a small part of the bigger picture. His approach has changed over the years - he used to be quite aggressive in attacking the bad bugs but now he has a more holistic approach. This means looking at the person as a whole, their history, reactions to different things, and taking a gut-body-mind-spirit approach to healing. We've discussed this many times on the show (if you want a good overview, check out episode 112). The gut health issue is just a portal into something much bigger and it's important to approach it holistically. One of the keys to a holistic approach is to understand what is actually going on. Dr. Pedre will sometimes use stool testing but warns that it can be misleading. Instead, he looks at different types of gut issues, which I love because it has been such a successful way for me to help people with thyroid conditions. We both agree that a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. There are so many things that could be at play in the gut issue including dysbiosis, yeast overgrowth, histamine issues, enzyme deficiency, leaky gut, damaged epithelium, SIBO or SIFO - and each of these will impact tolerance of probiotics and fermented foods.  Could Toning the Vagus Nerve Be the Answer? Dr. Vincent Pedre revealed a fascinating connection between the vagus nerve (also known as the vegal nerve) and our gut health issues. He explains that stress is a huge factor in affecting the vagus nerve, which is essentially the connection between the brain and internal organs, with the majority of communication being directed from the gut to the brain. As you know if you've listened to my past episodes, stress in our lives can seriously impact our health. We often think of our mental health when we think of stress but it can cause biophysical stress. This can affect the vagus nerve which can impact our digestive processes. To get the body back to a state of relaxation and proper digestion, it is important to activate the vagus nerve through exercises and mindfulness practices. Dr. Pedre recommends deep breathing exercises where you breathe in and then exhale with a hum (or ‘Ohm' sound).  Dr. Pedre also stresses the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of the gut microbiome and the vagal nerve, as the gut microbiome stimulates vagal nerve receptors and sends signals back to the brain. He highlights that in order to achieve optimal gut health, one must address all aspects of the holistic healing plan, including stress levels, and not just focus on diet and supplements. Solving Digestion Issues is not One-Size-Fits-All Just like I always say about healing autoimmune issues (like Hashimoto's), the solution is never one-size-fits-all. There are so many factors at play and the same is true with digestive issues. This is especially true when it is in combination with autoimmunity and thyroid health. We have to look at it from all angles and customize the solution as much as possible. This is what we did with Alison.  First, we assessed what was going on. Alison was taking lots of vitamins and eating a ton of fermented foods. This can be great but they do not work for everyone. In fact, fermented foods can sometimes make things worse because of other imbalances in the gut. To get started, we removed those highly fermented foods and started her on a low histamine diet.  We ran a Vibrant Zoomers test, genetic tests and a stool test. The results revealed that gluten was an issue for her – all of the things she was taking to heal her gut were being undone by her gluten consumption. We saw that she had SIBO, and the probiotics she was taking were making it worse because her body wasn't able to handle them.  This is a classic case of doing ‘all the healthy things' that turn out to be the wrong things for the individual. Next Steps Alison was also always in a rush and didn't take much time to eat so we worked on slowing down. She also created more time for her. Stress increases our cortisol levels (that's why it's called the stress hormone) which, in turn, impacts our immune system and gut health. We supported Alison's stress through lifestyle adjustments and the supplement PS 150. Happy Ending Just 2 months after making diet and lifestyle changes, Alison felt calmer, lighter, and was able to eliminate better. As things were improving, we then started to support the SIBO by doing 6 weeks of FC Cidal and Dysbiocide followed by SBI Protect to help bind and remove some of the bacterial toxins called LPS that were creating damage in the gut.  As we were supporting this, I also optimized her thyroid. She was the ‘Low T3 Type' and so we worked with her doctor to fine-tune her thyroid medication to include more T3 while using Zinc and Selenium to improve conversion. This made even more of a difference and she has significantly less gas and bloating, and was able to easily go to the bathroom every day which was a huge win! Eliminating Health Mysteries For Alison we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health.

Sign up here to Mikki's Back to Basics fat loss webinar, January 24th, 7.30pm, NZT https://mikkiwilliden.com/back-to-basics-2023 This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Alessio Fasano about gluten, non celiac gluten sensitivity (NGCS), the gut microbiome and auto-immune conditions. Dr Fasano led the research team that discovered and named zonulin, an enzyme in the gut that is activated in response to gluten. They talk about the importance of this in relation to health in general, who needs to be mindful of gluten in their food, and the other pillars of health that impact on the gut. Importantly, Dr Fasano emphasises that for most people, it isn't just one trigger that sets off the immune response, it is multiple factors, and that is what is discussed today.Advancing innovation in research, clinical care and education, Alessio Fasano, MD, has dedicated his life to improving the quality of life for people with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. He founded the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1996. In 2013, he moved the Center to Massachusetts General Hospital and renamed it the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Paleovalley, and HigherDOSE. Gluten is one ingredient we all love in bread or our favorite pizza dough, but it's often the cause of inflammation and leaky gut, which is implicated in so many health conditions such as IBS, skin problems, Hashimoto's, high blood pressure, and more. And it is not just people with celiac disease who are affected. In today's episode, I talk with Maggie Ward, Dr. Alessio Fasano, and Dr. George Papanicolaou about how gluten affects the gut and how to know if it's a problem for you. Maggie Ward, MS, RD, LDN, is the Nutrition Director at The UltraWellness Center.

Sadowsky, Karen Schwarzberg Lipson, Matthew B. Sullivan, J. Gregory Caporaso and Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex neurobiological disorders that impair social interactions and communication and lead to restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. The causes of these disorders remain poorly understood, but gut microbiota, the 1013 bacteria in the human intestines, have been implicated because children with ASD often suffer gastrointestinal (GI) problems that correlate with ASD severity. Several previous studies have reported abnormal gut bacteria in children with ASD. The gut microbiome-ASD connection has been tested in a mouse model of ASD, where the microbiome was mechanistically linked to abnormal metabolites and behavior. Similarly, a study of children with ASD found that oral non-absorbable antibiotic treatment improved GI and ASD symptoms, albeit temporarily. Here, a small open-label clinical trial evaluated the impact of Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) on gut microbiota composition and GI and ASD symptoms of 18 ASD-diagnosed children. ResultsMTT involved a 2-week antibiotic treatment, a bowel cleanse, and then an extended fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) using a high initial dose followed by daily and lower maintenance doses for 7–8 weeks. The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale revealed an approximately 80% reduction of GI symptoms at the end of treatment, including significant improvements in symptoms of constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and abdominal pain. ConclusionsThis exploratory, extended-duration treatment protocol thus appears to be a promising approach to alter the gut microbiome and virome and improve GI and behavioral symptoms of ASD. Improvements in GI symptoms, ASD symptoms, and the microbiome all persisted for at least 8 weeks after treatment ended, suggesting a long-term impact. Similarly, clinical assessments showed that behavioral ASD symptoms improved significantly and remained improved 8 weeks after treatment ended. Bacterial and phagedeep sequencing analyses revealed successful partial engraftment of donor microbiota and beneficial changes in the gut environment.

Gluten is a hot topic in the health world. There are those who staunchly believe that only those with celiac disease should avoid it, while others claim that even a small amount can be harmful. In this episode, Dr. Tom O’Bryan sheds some light on this topic. Dr. O’Bryan is one of the leading experts on celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity as well as a functional medicine practitioner specializing in chronic illness. I’m on the road this week, so this interview is conducted by Olivia from Wellness-Media.com and is a playback (with permissions) of this interview from last year’s Wellness Family Summit. We Talk About: Is gluten really that bad or can people who don’t have celiac disease safely eat it? Long term effects of gluten consumption What intestinal permeability is and how it relates to gluten sensitivity How gluten (and other foods) can enter the bloodstream and cause autoimmune problems How celiac disease (an autoimmune disease) relates to autoimmune problems How your intestines are like a carpet Why gluten sensitivity can lead to osteoporosis The difference between gluten sensitivity and celiac disease How non-celiac gluten sensitivity can affect your children What are FODMAPs and how to know if you have trouble with them The biggest flaw in most studies Related Resources: Article: Gluten is Not a Food Group Article: How Grains are Killing You Slowly Dr. Tom’s website: TheDr.com Read TranscriptOliva: So, Dr. Tom, thanks so much for taking the time to be here with us today. We’re so happy to have you. Dr. Tom: Thank you very much. It’s a pleasure to be with you. Thank you. Olivia: Good. You are just so knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity, which is a topic that I know many of our viewers are highly interested in. So let’s jump right in. Gluten sensitivity has definitely gotten more mainstream attention lately, but there is still a lot of skepticism and many articles talking about why it can be problematic to avoid gluten and why gluten isn’t that bad. So would you mind talking about your research in this area? Is gluten something that we do need to worry about, or is it okay for most people who don’t have celiac disease? Dr. Tom: Okay, that’s a good way to get right into it. One of the interviewees on The Gluten Summit was Dr. Alessio Fasano, the Chair of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Mass General, Harvard. Dr. Fasano is the world’s leader in looking at gluten and its effect on the gut and the development of something called pathogenic intestinal permeability; leaky gut is the slang term for it. What Dr. Fasano tells us is that no human can digest gluten. No human. I have to back up. Gluten is not bad for you; bad gluten is bad for you. There’s gluten in rice and there’s gluten in corn, there’s gluten in quinoa; gluten is an umbrella term for families of proteins, and it’s the toxic family of proteins in wheat, rye and barley, those glutens are not good for us as humans. The other glutens are fine. So it’s the wrong word to use really in gluten sensitivity. It’s kind of like someone handing you a piece of paper and saying, would you p
