Sometimes science and research can’t explain everything that your own experience and learning can, from trial and error.
I noticed a rash on my chest, I cut out gluten and it went away, all the antibiotics Ive taken in recent years must of done some damage to my gut microbiome because I grew up on bread with no problems
It’s fascinating to hear the narrative of the thought process of a doctor’s analysis of studies. Listening to it helps me understand how I can better evaluate studies myself.
Watching this video made me hungry for gluten-supercharged foods… I’m so glad I can eat gluten…
Aren’t humans only supposed to eat fruit and maybe some raw leafy greens and nothing else? We’re not really supposed to eat any grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, and definitely no animal foods. We should really just be eating fruit meals.
So, three months[plus the 4-6 week prep phase(why the range?)] is considered sufficient by researchers, in spite of breadth of anecdotal cases suggested one year’s minimum dietary intervention to discern effects? I wonder why a longer period was not employed in such a rigorous trial? Cynically, I wonder what excuses mentioning this shortcoming would elicit from researchers… TFP!
This video wants to falsely blame gluten for too many digestive issues. So much of our problems are related to high carb / sugary, overly processed low nutritional “ food”. Our ancestors consumption of grains, legumes and vegetables often involved natural lacto fermentation and sprouting that reduced the harmful proteins such as gluten and anti nutrient components, and boosting nutritional values of so much of what they ate. Our modern age of refrigeration, pasteurization, and inoculation has made our food so devoid of beneficial bacteria along with the over ingestion of carbs and sugars that many individual’s guts have become a witches caldron of poison. Blaming everything on gluten is just too simplistic.
Video narrator: “I am an expert on gluten and grains but I don’t know what a frickin’ mouse looks like”
Gluten is linked to mental illness.They have known since the 60s that gluten makes schizophrenia, Bipolar, anxiety + depression worse.
Google it.
no change in behaviour…why?
gluten free pasta or pasta pasta
both shit food
stop the starch train its hurting everyone
Why do they keep trying casein and gluten free diets in particular? What about just a plant-based wholefood diet to improve gut bacteria. There’s another video linking poor/bad gut microbiome to Autism. So wouldn’t it make sense to study how to change the gut microbiome? It said that children that have had anti-biotics when young were more likely to have ASD than those that didn’t. It has also been discovered that if you give them more anti-biotics their autism symptoms greatly improved. But came back when the anti biotics stopped. Could that have been because they continued to eat the same diet so the same old bacteria would grow back again (you grow bacteria according to what you eat) What if anti-biotics are given to kill the bad and then change to a wholefood plant-based diet to change the gut bacteria? Would that work?
Just wondering if it is possible to be gluten sensitive without any digestion issues?
Try avoiding Soy. It would be a better start rather than this nothing
Yeah they say we’re not allergic to the food itself, we’re allergic to how it’s made.. ie. GMO
I only been gluten free for a week, and I have not had acid reflux after I eat. When i suffered from acid reflux my whole life. Hopefully the bumps on my arms will start to clear up.
Probably a stupid question but would someone with eczema benefit from going gluten free?
am I the only one who think it’s fat and sugar to blame… Japanese people eat way less fried food and less sugar, and eat more tea!
Whole food plant based diet is without a doubt the most promising way to go.
I am in a process giving up baking with all wheat flour any kind. I bake Brazilian cheese bread with tapioca flour, also make white bread and buns with a blend of rice, tapioca, potato starch, pea fibre and xanthan gum (acts like gluten, so dough able to rise up) and I feel that I am healing my joints and feeling lighter as well.
I desperately want nutrition science to tell me useful things. I find it very hard to know when it is actually doing so.
I am very skeptical of the main thesis of this video.
While I think it is true that many people see improved health from going gluten free, it is very difficult to establish causation.
It is certainly true that many people who continue to eat gluten and are doing fine.
In this video, it is suggested that, if you have any of several conditions you might as well try going gluten free for a couple of weeks. “The worst thing that will happen is that you might lose a few pounds.”
The video also mentions that gluten is in many, many things (ketchup, lipstick). That means that “going gluten free for two weeks”, actually means that you will have to pay careful, close attention to everything you eat, and it will almost certainly result in you eating less highly processed foods in general.
I strongly suspect that many of the people who benefit from going gluten free, would see very similar results from paying careful, close attention to everything they eat and generally eating less highly processed foods but not specifically cutting out all gluten.
What does the research suggest for gluten and hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s)? I have a family hx and I’m concerned I should be eliminating gluten from my diet.
If it’s manufactured or processed by humans its to be avoided.
1.5 year without bread, pasta, ris and sugar. I have more energy that is stable throw the day, no mor being tired after lunch or sleepy. No more headache, I hade tjat everyday. Plus I lost 18kg��
imagine being genetically fucked to the point you cant eat a staple of the civilized world’s diet.
I’m curious if anyone has compared the number of autistic kids born to vegan moms vs the general pop a fetus spends 9 months getting exposed to everything the mom eats, drinks, smokes maybe this could explain why ‘detoxification’ takes a couple of years instead of a couple of months…..I’ll have to search nutritionfacts.org to see maybe Dr. Greger has already cover this topic
WOW! Such a clear, well-presented and deeply documented video! I always had a hard time figuring out what gluten was and how we absorbed it in out body!
I rarely, if ever, comment in the comment section but this one really deserved it 1000%! Incredible job!
I have PCOS with insulin resistance and anxiety, depression, and gluten always aggravated my water retention, bloating, inflammation and mood swings. I am now following a gluten free, dairy free, low carb diet, to manage my chronic conditions. It’s not easy but it’s worth it.
If I’m reading the definition of gluten correctly it’s basically bread. People having bread for thousands of years. All the sudden a large part of the population is sensetive to it?
Do a video on how to cure type 1 diabetes ��. I eat only ribeye steak and my blood sugar still goes up and I have to take insulin I hate it so much
If the placebo effect is so powerful maybe the parents of the autistic children should just be better, more positive parents.
I’m someone with gluten sensitivity! This is really interesting to watch. I’ve always had problems with food allergies they come and go. Sometimes I can eat stuff and sometimes I can’t but oh boy I had symptoms from the gluten sensitivity where I’d get paranoid and full on hallucinate it was absolutely terrifying.
Sucks for you people. My people have been eating gluten for centuries, and they built empires. Will never stop eating gluten.
bread is normal food? lol i eat like no more than 4 slices in week her in india i dont feel full until roti or rice
i am in love with all your videos!! please check out my videos. i love this honestly your so pretty
This prove different treatment about food industry, if there from US, it Will be compromise. Like gluten and MSG or vegetable oil and palm oil.
Well the ancient medieval and greeks diddn’t have an issue eating bread all day
The stats difference between Japan and USA as far as weight of grains eaten should have been in a per-capita format. Great video though
I was about to eat 2 slices of wheat bread but I am still curious if this would be beneficial. I’ve watched 3 videos about it and one thing is common:
DO NOT EAT YOU WHAT WERE ABOUT TO EAT.
������
But milkand wheat-free diet is not same as Caseinand Gluten-free diet:) same as lycopene alone is not anti-cancer but tomatoes paste is ( from previous video)
High caloric intake is extremely necessary for those with high blood pressure and high metabolism. Gluten is the only food resource for those that consume large amounts of animal proteins that can properly balance white blood cell levels and proper brain function. Not to mention how much it helps with the liver and the removal of toxins from the body. Please have yourself a physical and talk with a doctor and nutritionist before removing anything from your diet. And never ever change your diet over night, it should be gradual your anus will thank me. Don’t place your trust in these youtube propaganda vids friends, talk to your doctor before you make any changes to your diet and daily intakes. This has been a message from your local non-troll. Have a nice day.
I have been suffering from IBSD and celiac disease for years and a gluten free diet has made a great deal for my life.
Celiac disease is caused by the use of glyphosate, and not caused by gluten. Gluten is good for you. Chinese and Japanese eats pure gluten (aka seitan) for thousands of years.
Please make more of these videos. You are brilliant, keep it up.
I have Aspergers and I am NAET treatments to eliminate sensitivities and allergies to foods/chemicals which has eliminated symptoms of autism/Asperger syndrome. For more info I would recommend http://www.naet.com or http://www.naetautismtreatmentcenter.com or read the book NAET: say goodbye to allergy related autism by dr Devi
i can’t live without bread and pastries…. so there’s a 98.888888888888% im just gonna ignore this
Can anyone please tell me your thoughts on why gluten causes my heart to have arrhythmias? My gut is perfect when eating gluten but my heart can’t handle it. I test negative for celiac, tho positive with an alternative intolerance test. Any thoughts? Even the cardiologists are stumped. Thank you! 😉
This video is dumb. Most ppl have no reaction to the gluten in bread. It’s just another carb source like rice or potatoes. Ppl in Europe have been eating all kinds of bread including white bread for a very long time and many of them are much healthier than Americans. Stop spreading nonsense.
Thank you very much for an honest scientific review of the literature on a tricky subject that is important to many of us!!
It seems nothing is safe to eat. No dairy, no mean cuz it causes cancer, no carbs. What can we eat?
So… do we need to reduce or stop the gluten (like sugar, a little doesn’t hurt but a lot definitely)? I liked the video, I will certainly try to reduce my gluten consumption to try to improve my health! thanks
India is a paradox for the findings of this video. Most of the 1 billion plus people there eat bread made from wheat for all 3 meals each day but no one is sensitive to gluten. Gluten sensitivity seems to be a disease of the west. I find it hard to agree with what this video states.
I’m actually struggling to 100% cut out gluten
I’ve stopped eating the major sources of gluten, but I still find it in some spices. I find myself being concerned that it will be that gluten that will cause a reaction from my body.
What seems to be a fad for some is a necessity for me. I ‘ve had Celiac Sprue since 1990 and trust me if I didn’t have to worry about being gluten free and wouldn’t go there. Back in the 90’s finding ANYTHING gluten free u had to bake it yourself or if u did find it was very expensive. Nowadays everything has gluten hidden in it, and the longer you have sprue the more u know what to look for when shopping.
I’m super normal but gluten free helps my brain fog gone. Whenever i go for a big meal, i can not work productivity for the next 24 hours
Sorry for my english, I’m non native speaker
This whole casein-free diet doesn’t seem to make sense. All baby humans drink casein from their mother’s milk. What’s wrong with casein?
Maybe the answer lies in how much gluten is eaten. Eating it once a week while being on a gluten free diet for the rest of the time might not show an appreciable effect on the kids.
(Sorry for my bad grammar, I am Spanish)
Great episode.
I’ve stopped eating gluten and dairy back in 2011.
Simply the wheat has been manipulated with the bran the fibre side to the wheat been taken out which has left wheat nutrionally deficient same could be said about milk and other ‘fattening’ foods once humans manipulate a food it loses its full benefits and can become harmful
I don’t eat bread if it isn’t sourdough. Fermentation is very important.
Wtf was this garbage?? Cool lets just keep feeding kids dairy then…. yayyyy. -_-
A la place du gluten, nous pouvons manger du riz et du sarrasin.
The trick is to just simply not use “gluten-free” products and eat real single ingredients foods like meat, fish, fruits, nuts and vegetables. You’ll have all the fiber, vitamins B and iron you need and you’ll be able to properly absorb them.
4:02 the comparisons are just made to look like there is a huge difference. 1% ain’t much of a difference you know.
Gluten free diet was suggested by my ayurvedic doctor for my auto immune and I have improved from wrecked to doing great in 6months. Back to life
My family did it for my brother for at least like two years and it didn’t really do anything. In fact, he’s had a lot more improvement way later than that time period which is most probably due to therapy and special education.
Great series! I’m gluten intolerant/sensitive. Sometimes I can get away with eating some but I pay for it eventually. I hate when I see things naturally gluten free labeled gluten free. I didn’t used to read labels and just trusted all the fancy buzz words on the front. I wish more people would educate themselves. A topic suggestion I’m curious about is sea salt. Is it just hype? Is it just regular salt with pink dye? Can we trust all the claims about where it came from?
We need to phase out trends and phase in lifestyles. Change our culture fundamentally do that we eat healthier.
Great video Laura! Are you sensitive to gluten or pay attention to your gluten intake? I went gluten free last year and it made a ginormous difference. I ate gluten when I recently went to New Orleans and it was awful!!!! I hadn’t felt that bad in a really long time. My whole body was swollen and in 30% more pain! So happy I decided to look into it and change my diet. I didn’t realize, but before that I was eating gluten almost all day every day. I am very sensitive and it affects me so strongly. I agree, a girl at my work when gf for diet reasons and she was just filling all her things with processed gf foods. I told her she would be better just eating gluten or trying to lower it rather than putting all those other bad foods in. The whole marketing scheme is really annoying! I always say the same things in the store! Like why does it say gf???? But then again, people really don’t know sometimes. It’s like me being vegan, people ask if I can eat watermelon, potatoes, whatever. People do the same thing with foods that contain gluten and they really don’t know that those foods are made of wheat. It seems like we need more awareness and nutrition health in our schools!
Great video and fun topic Laura!
I feel like wheat here in America is heavily treated with pesticides and that is another cause of wheat causing digestive issues.
When I was in Italy I have no problems with their bread or pasta. We have small amounts of organic sourdough bread and that’s really it now! But it’s easier in the summer when there is amazing produce everywhere.
What’s the next topic? These are great!
If onlt guiness would make a gluten free beer my life would be complete
That FDA Food Pyramid was the worst disservice done to the human race. Read up on how it came about. It was politics and personal power, not science.
Population study where you get half the people to do GFCF and half to do soy free, nightshade free. Then everyone has to read labels and have a nightmare feeding their kids.
Oh this makes sense 50% of what my mom feeds me is rice and pasta/ bread.:(
Recently switched to a gluten free diet. Surprisingly, there’s a large selection of Gluten Free foods available at Target. Can fill a whole shopping cart. Really easy switch.
Maybe what can be taken away from this is if parents decide they want to give this GFCF diet a try on their autistic child, they should make sure they substitute with foods that cover for possible deficiencies.
Summary:
Gluten is a type of protein. It is a compound composed of glutenin and gliadin. Gliadin communicate with the fortress to release zonulin which used to control the opening and closing of the gut and allowed unwanted things to leak through the walls of intestines and capillaries into the blood. Gluten caused illnesses in those people with celiac disease. Such as: IBS, acid reflux, brain fog, rashes, allergies, depression, migraines, ADHD and etc.

As someone with gut problems so bad they were causing hallucinations, I can tell you it took restricting a hell of a lot more than just casein and gluten to fix the problem. And more than a year. I would like to see a study using the AIP diet.
Ask not where you get your protein, but what your protein is doing to you.
Spoiler: humans don’t use protein. They use amino acids to make it.
There’s a lot more foods that does far less damage to the earth. Wheat is going to destroy the planet, it’s washing the soil into the into the oceans.
I am not a doc, but my limited understanding of Autism is that there is a pathological manifestation. And if that is true, that any short-term dietary intervention would be insufficient to correct it. It’ like getting an oil change when your engine is already has bad bearings. I would suggest backing up and studying the morbidity of autism in breast milk kids vs formula kids, And the impact of the timing of being switched from B to F. The hypothesis is that the longer you delay the switch of B to F, the less impact there will be. Similarly, the longer on F, the longer it will take to reverse the symptoms.
Could be 70 years of fungal growth, Candida, causing the new gluten reaction in the elderly folks… Fungus was never mentioned as the component gluten might have an adverse effect on people’s digestive systems…
I am a 44 yr old female with autism and I personally have had an at least 80% reduction in stimulative behaviors since going fully unprocessed plant based. However, the first several weeks of this new way of eating were so stressful I felt absolutely NO change. Getting used to eating completely new foods, and dealing with the addictive cravings of my old foods was easily enough stress to cause major breakdowns in my behaviors. Around my 4th or 5th month of eating this clean, I began to notice I wasn’t stimming AT ALL. **However** when I cheat and eat garbage or when I consume alcohol, the next 3-4 days my stimulative behaviors are OFF THE CHARTS. Head & eye movements mostly, which are incredibly painful phsyically (anyone who lives with autism knows just how painful our stims can be). I would like to add that I was vegan for 3 years before going fully unprocessed, and I did NOT notice an improvement, so removing casein had zero effect for me personally. I do still eat foods with gluten, although in very natural forms of whole grains, and I don’t have a problem with it. What causes me to melt down seems to be overly processed junk food or fast food &/or alcohol. Even high end vegan restaurant food causes a change for the worse the more processed the food though, the greater my consequences. I hope this helps someone.
If you can’t blind them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit.
Dr Greger, we need your help. The EU just approved a 5 year extension on Monsanto’s glyphosate, and people don’t understand what this vote means. It’s going to be in our food supply, even the water supply. Please, can you discuss the literature on this?
Yours Truly,
Concerned EU Citizen
im trying the gluten,diary,spinach and soy (exorphine)free diet right now. 3 weeks in. and i feel like stopping with drugs that i took for years. very tired and slow. I do take vit D3, K2, 250 mg magnesium malate, activ forms of B12 with B11 and enough calcium re placers. and im also already taking these supplements for about a year without side effects. so it sure does something to me, not positive yet.
no wonder why so many people do that gluten is the devil BS, that shit sounds scary
Endless equivocation… as usual….. if science can’t falsify.or prove something, what good is it. In the lack of evidence, Desperate parents will cling to anecdotal reports…
Any pros??? I am going gluten-free for health reasons and this really isn’t reassuring.
I have found this channel to have some thoughtful and fair content. But this video is a big disappointment. The entire thing is based on the ideas of a single scientist. It is entirely supportive of the pop pseudo-science of “gluten sensitivity,” and there is no fair presentation of differing viewpoints.
Most of our ancestors, at least if you are from Europe, have digested wheat products in large amounts. Now in all of a sudden it supposedly causes all sorts of ‘problems’. It does not make sense to me.
