Gluten
sensitivity is on the rise like no other food intolerance. It is not just an
issue for people diagnosed with Celiac disease as a very large portion of the
population still react negatively when they eat gluten (NCGS: Non-Celiac Gluten
Sensitive).
For many people eating even a small amount of gluten means bloating, cramps, and diarrhea... just to name three common symptoms ( ...so sex is off the menu for now then!)
Yet you'll still hear people say "I know I'm going to pay for this later, but I can't resist," and they proceed to dig into the bread basket.
At this point we all irrefutably know that the majority of the population is addicted to food - but that addiction seems to remain prevalent even when they are medically diagnosed with a food intolerance which is linked to sensations of pain or discomfort every time they eat it.
What makes someone opt for pain for hours or days just for an immediate satisfaction that lasts a few seconds? What can we call that other than true addiction?
Food addiction: We get it. But can foods that cause pain still be better than having sex?
Leicester General Hospital carried out a study on this topic and came up with the following conclusions: "There is now substantial evidence that a gluten allergy is associated with infertility both in men and women. Hyperprolactinaemia is seen in 25% of coeliac patients, which causes impotence and loss of libido."
Another study: "... sexual dysfunction and abnormalities of semen quality was determined in 28 consecutive males with coeliac disease... Of the married coeliacs, 19% had infertile marriages, a value greater than expected in the general population."
People that know this information and are affected STILL eat gluten or as they call it: "cheat." Cheat and suffer the inevitable consequences. The worst part is that someone who is gluten sensitive and hasn't yet triggered Celiac disease can actually prevent the trigger just by making some dietary changes - and yet many people wait until it's too late; maybe because they don’t realize the true implications of what they are doing to their bodies.

It is
not just your sex life you need to be concerned about either. Each hit of
gluten in your intestinal tract will produce an inflammatory response as your
body fights what it detects as a ‘foreign body’. This reaction is what causes
the nasty side effects such as bloating and cramps after ingestion of
gluten-containing foods. Inflammation is a leading cause of many diseases and
although your effects may only last for a few hours – maybe only half an hour-
think of the buildup over time. A hit of inflammation after that sandwich for
lunch…every day…365 days a year….that leads to CHRONIC inflammation which
spells bad news for your poor digestive tract!
However – do not panic, there is a solution if it’s not too late! Gluten withdrawal and correction of deficient dietary elements can lead to a return of fertility both in men and women and a reduction in gut inflammation. Please contact me if you are experiencing negative side effects after eating gluten. A word of advice to all (my nutritional clients have heard this one before!) – ALOE VERA GEL will help to reduce inflammation in your gut and help heal the gut lining from previous abuse. Taken on a daily basis this miracle gel can help your body deal with a whole host of attacks – including those from gluten. Please speak to me if you want to start on a course of Aloe Vera and I can provide you with the best gel on the market at the moment.
So – what will it be…..sex or bread….?! J
