Hi, I'm Dr. Peter Osborne, founder of Gluten Free Society and author of the international best selling book no Grain, no Pain. You might recognize me from my appearances on Fox, pbs, Netflix and many other nationally recognized publications. I am super passionate about helping those with gluten sensitivity and that's why I dedicated so many resources to creating Glutenology the ultimate masterclass on going gluten free.

tutorial on how to go on a gluten free diet. It is jam packed with 14 hours of information broken down into 10 simple to understand modules. You may not know this, but researchers have found that as many as 92% of people going gluten free fail to show improvements in intestinal damage and inflammation. That's a super alarming statistic and that's why I created the Glutenology Masterclass to help you navigate the healing process and overcome the destructive autoimmune inducing properties of gluten and grains. I want to teach you what so many are doing wrong when they embark on their gluten free journey. Some of the key concepts I'll be covering in this masterclass are in module one, breaking down the definition of gluten and why this definition may be keeping

In module two, I'll cover the hidden and little discussed symptoms of gluten sensitivity. Module 3 discusses the medical confusion around testing for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. In module four, I'll break down gluten free whiplash and the different pitfalls that people fall into and mistakes they make too when initially going gluten free. In Module 5, I teach you where

Hey, Dr. Osborne. And I'm back for the glutenology health matrix module number two, all the things you didn't know that gluten was related to. So in this module, we're covering common symptoms of gluten exposure. We're also going to be covering the diseases either caused or contributed to by gluten. So get out your pads and pens and get ready to take notes. Now, the clinical symptoms of celiac disease. Again, I taught this in module one. This is kind of a refresher course, but clinical symptoms are extreme weight loss, diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating and vomiting. And remember I also said that about 1% of the population has celiac disease, but most of them don't have a diagnosis. And one of the reasons why is the classic clinical symptoms aren't really classic. They're what's taught in school as classic symptoms. But most symptoms of gluten sensitivity are kind of more waxing and waning are not really what we would call full blown disease. They're kind of the subtle breakdowns of the body. So you have to understand classic definition versus what is an actually kind of going to pan out over time. So symptoms can be and usually are systemic. And we know that different people can respond to gluten in different ways. So let's dive in to what we know. So the gluten sensitivity hydra. Those who've been following me for any length of time know I'm a fan of mythology. The Hydra, the fabled Greek creature that was slain by Hercules with seven heads. Right? Seven fabled heads. And if you cut one head off, it would sprout two heads to take the place of the one. And this is very likened to the way I look at the way medical diagnosis and medical treatments work. If you have somebody with a symptom, generally the doctor takes a whack at the symptom with his sword, his prescription sword pad, and tries to suppress that symptom. And some drugs work really great at symptom suppression. The bottom line though, is that the drug side effects and the accumulation of the drug usage can create new symptoms, right? It's oftentimes why when you go to the doctor, you get a drug and then six months later you get Another drug to treat the symptoms of the first drug you started taking.
- [05:51]
A
Right.
- [05:51]
B
And it's a lot like that Hydra, where, you know, you cut one head and two new heads sprout up. Well, gluten is like that because gluten can cause so many different symptoms. And if doctors aren't trained to recognize these symptoms, again, they're taking wax at the head of the gluten sensitivity hydra and not really resolving or solving the underlying core of the problem. So treating these symptoms with medicine does not resolve the origin of, of a patient's problem. Now, this article, I'm going to put up an article for you. You can see gluten sensitivity, a mini headed hydra. This was published in the British Medical Journal, conferring all the things that I'm getting ready to teach you and talk to you about the spectrum of dysfunction linked to the exposure to gluten. Okay, this next diagram I'm going to put up on the screen for you. You can see on the left hand side, okay, the classic gastrointestinal manifestations of celiac disease. Diarrhea, vomiting, distended abdomen. In kids, we'll see failure to thrive, meaning babies won't grow. Okay. That's a common hallmark of early celiac disease, but again, very rare when you consider the host of problems. On the right side of this diagram. So you see the different disease symptoms, neurologic and psychiatric manifestations, oral, mucocutaneous and facial manifestations, dermatologic, meaning the skin manifestations, hematologic, meaning how it manifests in the blood, and then hepatic, meaning your liver, how it manifests potentially in the liver. And then you can go on to the next row in the next line and just follow the image. You'll see all these different diseases that are linked up to gluten exposure, which is why many experts don't look at gluten sensitivity and celiac disease the same. Because again, gluten can cause celiac disease, but celiac disease is a rare manifestation of gluten sensitivity to the order of magnitude of about 1%. All these other symptoms, 6%. Remember, there's a scientific consensus today is that approximately 6% of the population has gluten sensitivity issues. 1% has celiac. So, you know, six times more people have non celiac gluten sensitivity issues than have celiac. So we've got to start getting this information out to the masses, because if you don't know to look for it, you will never even understand that. The laundry list of symptoms and diseases I'm going to be sharing with you today are linked up to gluten sensitivity. So just in this particular diagram, one of the big ones that we see with kids is enamel defects from the teeth, right? So you've got a child that's super prone to cavities. Every time you go to the dentist, there's more cavities. Gluten is not, or I should say sugar is not the only trigger. Gluten can destroy the enamel. There's an autoimmune reaction that can occur on the enamel building proteins of your teeth. And so that's a common manifestation is enamel defects on teeth. We've got symptoms or diseases like psychiatric conditions. Gluten has been related to depression and it's been related to schizophrenia as we'll dive into here in some of these other slides I'm going to cover with you. Gluten, I like to call it the great deceiver. And it's because it can do so much like this one family of proteins can do so much to create so many different problems. Let's talk about how it can, why it can deceive as well. This study that I'm going to put up on the screen for you, you see here, it says the opioid effects of gluten exorphants asymptomatic celiac disease. Let's talk about what that means. Gluten can act like an opioid. Now, if you don't know what an opioid is, an opioid is a very potent, one of the most potent types of painkillers, okay? And I just said gluten can act like an opioid, meaning that some people gravitate toward eating bread and pasta and cereal because when they eat it, they feel better. Their pain actually reduces as opposed to increases. And so you'll see at the bottom of this slide, gluten can be degraded into several morphine like substances named gluten exorphins. Okay. Or gluteomorphins. And these compounds have proven opioid effects and could mask the deleterious effects of gluten protein on the GI lining, the GI tract function. Meaning that, remember we said the classic symptoms of celiac disease were gastrointestinal pain? One of the symptoms. Well, what this research is saying is that gluten acting as a pain reliever can actually mask its own toxicity. So where the gluten might be causing you pain, it's also part of your pain medicine. So what you're taking in and your diet is creating the inflammation, but it's also medicating the inflammation that it's creating. And this is why I call it the great deceiver. Because you can eat gluten for a number of years and and be relatively asymptomatic until your body develops resistance and enough damage that the morphine like qualities of gluten are no longer effective at managing or controlling your pain. Now, any of you who've ever been to pain management know how this works. The longer you're on the medicine, the less effective it becomes, the more the doctor has to increase the dose to get the same pain control effect. Well, gluten can work the same way. So this can take a number of years for this effect to really start to manifest. One of the more common questions I get asked is, Dr. Osborne, I've been eating gluten my whole life. Why am I just now starting to show up with symptoms? This is another reason why gluten can be a great deceiver, because it can mask its own toxicity for years. It can mask itself until it rears its ugly head. And that point is usually at the point where your body can no longer continue to keep up with the damage. Now, I said earlier that gluten sensitivity and gluten intolerance is not a disease, but that it can cause or contribute to disease. And this diagram represents some of the common things that gluten can cause or contribute to. As you see bone loss and asthma and fibromyalgia and thyroid problems. What probably one of the more common things that that gluten can contribute to psychological disease. Cancer. Non Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer linked to gluten sensitivity and then rheumatological arthritis. In Module 1, I shared with you how I got started in all this by helping a little girl named Ginger who had terminal juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. And when we changed her diet, we saved her life. So let's talk about the conundrum. I said earlier, gluten is a great deceiver. And I said that it can do damage, but it can mask the damage that it's doing. And I also said that damage accumulates over time. And this is, you know, component I want you to understand is disease. You don't wake up tomorrow with diabetes. You don't wake up tomorrow with rheumatoid arthritis or hypothyroidism or any other manifestation of disease. Disease development takes time. So I'm going to put a slide on the screen for you and kind of show you what we're talking about. You can see here that you have what are called, look at this blue bar going across screen. It says pre pathological changes. And then you see kind of a diagram above that. It says pre clinical syndromes, low or high normal blood values, low or high penetrance of genetic variants and epigenetic modifications. So let's make sense of this diagram. Pre pathological changes means these are the symptoms that occur before the lab work is so abnormal that the doctor can say, Mrs. Jones, you, you have fill in the blank disease, right? So pre clinical disease is vague. This is the problem with gluten. This is the problem with gluten's relationship to autoimmune disease is that you could be eating gluten for five years or 10 years and you're relatively okay. You get into seven year, eight, nine, 10 of heavy gluten exposure and now your body is starting to subtly show signs of wear and tear. Now most doctors view that wear and tear as changes with aging. I would warn against that thought process. If you believe that your body is intentionally designed to break down to the point where you lose function, or to the point where you require five or more medications, which is what the average 45 year old in the United States is taking, then you've been sorely misled. Okay, so these pre clinical signs show up early, but most people ignore them. This is your general fatigue, your general brain fog, oh, my joint hurts a little bit or why is my knee catching? Right? These subtle things that can happen that aren't overt. Frank disease. These are the again, pre pathological changes that can occur up to the point where you get a diagnosis. Diabetes is probably the most classic example that I can give you of a disease where we know the chronic ingestion of something can take years to develop. So the chronic ingestion of sugar, you know, you take a kid at Halloween, that child at Halloween is not going to have diabetes the day after Halloween. But if that child is reared on sugar and eats sugar as a regular staple in their diet, you multiply that over years. Initially you'll get pre pathological changes like fatigue, attention, behavioral disorders. You'll get things like, like dark circles or bags under the eyes. You'll see children complain of stomach aches or pain. You'll see them do poorly in school. Like these are pre pathological changes, right? But they're eating sugar and you fast forward 20 or 30 or 40 years and what do you see? You see those pre pathological changes turn into what we can now identify as an overt disease, in this case, in this example, diabetes. And as it relates to gluten, as I'll show you here in just a few moments, every disease you see on this list follow the same trend. The unique thing about gluten is it's very, very rare that it causes an acute manifestation of frank disease. It's generally, it's the longer you're exposed to gluten over time, and the more gluten exposure you have over time, the more inflammation your body is basically burdened with and the more subtle the breakdowns occur until your body can no longer continue to adapt to the way that you're treating it. So it's important that you understand that disease doesn't happen tomorrow. So, you know, when you hit the women especially this is my experience, is when you hit the age of 40, 45, and you feel like your body is starting to fall apart. That is not because of what you did last week or last month. It is what you have been doing your entire life. It is the accumulation of your choices in your lifesty in your diet over those many years that have led to the outcome that you're facing in your health. Now let's talk about some of those common symptoms. I said oftentimes there's symptoms that occur before frank or overt disease is diagnosed. So these are some of your common symptoms of gluten exposure before major disease sets in. So we look in the GI tract, constipation, loose bowels, heartburn, indigestion, bloating, excessive gas. These are all very common. Again, gastrointestinal manifestations of early gluten exposure. Then we have mental symptoms, brain fog, fatigue, depression. And I'm not talking about full blown clinical depression where you're on the verge of suicide. I'm talking about depression, as in you're depressed, but you can't quite figure out why. Like mild, subtle, before frank disease sets in. And irritability, mood swings, all mental manifestations of gluten sensitivity or gluten exposure. Then we have some of the immune symptoms that can develop. And so this might be a person that has really aggressive outdoor allergies. I've seen this countless times where people come to me and say, Dr. Osborne, I'm allergic to outside every time. You know, I have allergies year round because in the fall I have these allergies. In the spring, I have these other allergies. In the summer I have these different allergies. But when they go gluten free, guess what happens to their seasonal allergies? They vastly diminish or they can go away. So if you're one of those that has aggressive outdoor allergies, it might be a hallmark symptom that your body is so busy fighting gluten that it doesn't have the immune resources to fight the environment as well. And so you lose the war to the environment and that manifests as allergens. Shortness of breath is another very common immune symptom. This has to do with the immune function of your lungs. Recurring infections, especially in the sinus cavities, especially in the throat. So like, if you get, you know, a lot of kids have had their tonsils removed. Tonsillitis. Remember, your tonsils are a large clump of immune cells clustered in your throat. And their primary job is to protect you from what you're eating. And so when you're eating things that irritate your immune system, your tonsils will swell, they'll get enlarged. And so that's kind of an early warning sign potentially of gluten exposure or other food allergen exposure are enlargement of the tonsils or what are known as tonsil stones. If you've ever seen those, those are the little white clumps that can develop and pack into the tonsils. If you ever open your mouth and say, ah, look in the mirror and shine a light down there, sometimes you'll see like white pusy patches or white, basically little balls that are lodged into the holes of your tonsils or the tuned crypts of your tonsils. We'll also see recurring infections. So again, you know, strep throat, recurring upper respiratory infections where you've used antibiotics time and time and time again because they just. The infections keep coming back. These are all potential symptoms that gluten might be playing a role. And then chronic coughing, this is actually one that I can speak of personal. Personally, I am gluten sensitive and one of my primary early on symptoms with gluten exposure was chronic coughing. I would cough at night. Every night I would lay down to go to bed. I would cough for about 30 minutes. I was in good shape. I didn't have any major health issues. I would just cough at night before going to bed. It was non productive. And so when I stopped, when I figured out I was gluten sensitive and I quit eating gluten, I haven't had a chronic cough issue since. So chronic cough is another one of those that can be kind of, again, an early onset symptom. Then we have neurological symptoms. Headaches are very, very common. So again, I'M not talking about full blown migraine, where you've been to a neurologist and had three or four MRIs to try to figure out what's going on with you. I'm talking about early onset headaches. And there are a number of different kinds of headaches, but even tension headaches can be chronic tension headaches where the muscles are so tight because gluten can cause muscle cramp and muscle spasm, especially along the base of the occipital muscles, and that can create chronic tension headaches. You could have, what are migraine like headaches. Without a diagnosis of migraine, you could have sporadic or intermittent headaches, cluster headaches, etc. That can be linked to gluten exposure as well. Numbness and tingling of the extremities. Another very, very common hallmark of gluten exposure. Now, numbness and tingling of the extremities. This is one of those where maybe you have tingling or numbness in your, in your fingertips. It starts there. I'm not talking about something like sciatica, where you have pain that travels down your buttock into your feet. I'm talking about that the numbness and tingling is in the extremity. It's in your feet. It's not traveling down the leg or down the arm. It's actually just in the hands or the feet directly. Carpal tunnels, a symptom that actually can. Gluten can manifest as. And a lot of people get carpal tunnel reduction surgeries because they start to develop numbness or tingling in their hand as a result of that tunnel compressing the median nerve. Then we also have dizziness and loss of balance. This is another hallmark, early onset gluten exposure. So if you find yourself becoming more clumsy over time, finding yourself dizzy, losing your balance where you didn't used to, this might be an early warning sign for you that gluten is a problem. Then we have the premenstrual symptoms, and this predominantly for women right around your period. There are different types of premenstrual, what they're now calling premenstrual dysphoric disease, and that is our premenstrual dysphoric disorder, pmdd. But there are classes, so there's one that manifests as anxiety. So there's a premenstrual class or type that manifests as anxiety. There's another one that manifests with swelling or bloating or water retention. There's another one that manifests with mood, severe mood swings and irritability and mood changes. So there again and there's another one that manifests with severe sugar craving and food craving. So there are different types of premenstrual dysphoric symptoms. So if women. If you are finding that before your cycle, you become difficult to tolerate by your husbands or by the people around you, or even by yourself, you might consider that gluten could be contributing to that hormonal change that leads to hormonal imbalances that make you most susceptible right before you go into your period. Then we have muscles and joints, the symptoms. So muscle stiffness, sometimes referred to as stiff man syndrome. I've heard people say, you know, I've always been tight my whole life. I was. I was one of those people. I was tight my whole life. Couldn't touch my toes. When I went gluten free, everything just started to open up and loosen up a little bit better. And so muscle stiffness is a common symptom. Early onset, again, of gluten exposure. Pain can be, you know, physical pain in the muscle. Physical pain in the joint can be a manifestation as well as weakness. So muscle weakness, common hallmark symptom of gluten exposure. And then we have the inability to lose weight. The inability to lose weight. You know, we said earlier the classic symptoms of celiac disease were weight loss, right, because of the malnutrition and the diarrhea. But the more common symptom of gluten exposure over time is actually weight gain. And, you know, for every pound that you store in fat on your body, your heart has to accommodate that by growing extra miles of blood vessels to feed that pound of fat. And that puts more pressure on your cardiovascular system. But that. That pound of fat also is more pressure, gravitational pressure on your joints. So it can create some joint compression, and it can lead to osteoarthritic changes of your joints. So the wear and tear, you know, the more weight you carry, the more your joints have to cushion that carry. And so what we oftentimes see is people eat gluten over time, and they gain more and more weight. It creates joint pain, not because necessarily even the gluten is inflaming the joint, but because the fat storage is becoming greater than the joint's ability to cushion itself. And so we start to see wear and tear happen in the joint. And then we get skin disorders. Skin problems associated with gluten very commonly are hives. Is very common. And that actually is one of the more acute manifestations. I've seen a number. A number of people with chronic urticarial hives develop where They've been to every expert, every specialist, and they were tested for all types of environmental and outdoor allergens. They were given allergy drops and allergy shots. Hives wouldn't go away. So their last option was steroids, but they didn't want to take that option, so they were just trying to figure out if there was something in their diet. Well, there can be. Very, very often gluten causes a hive outbreak and it's again, it's more of an acute reaction. But what happens with it is it can become chronic. So the more exposure over time, you start initially developing hives. They come and go, they kind of ebb and flow, but as time goes on, they just kind of stay with you. The more gluten you consume, the more they kind of solidify and stay with you. And then we have One of the other most common manifestations in the skin of early onset gluten exposure is eczema. So if you struggle with eczema, you know, around. Generally people find eczema in the folds of the skin around behind the knees and the elbows, the babies and the butt cracks. Those areas that are most susceptible to eczema are the areas where there generally tends to be more moisture, more lack of sunshine. But gluten is a very, very common cause or trigger for eczema. Very, very common. So be on the lookout for that. If you have eczema or struggled with eczema, then you might consider that gluten is something you want to look at. Now, I'll put up another diagram just to kind of help you understand those of you are watching and you're not sure, maybe you haven't been tested for gluten sensitivity, but you suspect it. Now, some of you watching may already know you were diagnosed with celiac disease or somebody somewhere along the line, a doctor somewhere along the line told you you were gluten sensitive and to avoid it. And so you're just here to learn. But some of you are here because you suspect gluten might be your problem. So part of our mission is to help you understand whether or not going gluten free is the right move. So aside from that, we have a free quiz that you can take. We're going to put a link under this video that you can click on and you can take this free quiz and. And it's going to help you understand whether or not gluten might be the right move for you to move in the direction of gluten free diet, that is. And so although the quiz is not diagnostic I don't want you to take that impression away. It can just give you a general idea that if you come test positive on our quiz, that should prompt you to go visit with your doctor to get deeper and more in depth analysis to see whether or not, you know, you need to dedicate the time, effort, energy and resources to changing your diet for the rest of your life. Because gluten sensitivity, as I said, is genetic. And if you are gluten sensitive, you need to understand that it doesn't go away. You don't just get to start eating gluten again once your problems go away. It's kind of like a diabetic. They don't get to start eating sugar again once they've controlled their diet to get their diabetes under control. It really has to be a lifelong switch for them in order for them to maintain good health. Well, it's the same thing with gluten sensitivity. When you get your symptoms under control, it's not kind of free reign to start eating gluten again. You'll be sorely disappointed. So anyway, got that link below this video that you can click on to take the quiz to help you to determine whether or not you need to go gluten free. And then two next module. So stick with me through module three as well, because I'm going to be talking more in depth on testing, testing methodologies, questions you can ask your doctor, like all the ins and outs of what you need to know before you make that doctor's appointment so that when you go in there, you're armed and prepared with information so that you can get the most accurate assessment for gluten sensitivity. Okay, so now we're going to talk about, I talked about kind of the pre symptoms. Now we're going to dive into the disease situations associated around gluten. Now, I want you to keep something in mind. Gluten intolerance or sensitivity is not the sole cause of the following diseases. I don't want to be the little boy who cried sheep to say gluten causes everything for everyone, all the time. That being said, gluten causes a lot of problems for a lot of people. There are a lot of diseases we're going to go through over 100. Now, does that mean that gluten is the only cause or the only contributing factor to these conditions? No. And I want to be very, very clear because some people will go gluten free for two weeks or three weeks. They'll say, oh, my disease didn't go away. Gluten free diets don't work. Remember, most chronic diseases are multifactoral, meaning there's not one smoking gun. There are several different pieces of the puzzle that have to be solved. And I'll be talking about that in an upcoming module too. What those different pieces, what those different factors are so that you can maximize not just your gluten free diet, but also your lifestyle choices to help your body help itself. So again, in cases where a person does not have a known cause for their disease, this is where gluten sensitivity, you should really get with your doctor to rule it in or out. So if you have any of these medical conditions we're about to talk about, and your doctor said, Mrs. Jones, you have fill in the blank disease. We don't know why, but we want you to take this medicine for the rest of your life as the solution. If your disease is on this list that we're about to cover, you need to have that conversation about gluten sensitivity with both yourself and probably your practitioner, your healthcare practitioner to try to help you determine whether going gluten free is a good move or is going to help you in your endeavor at improving your condition. So let's talk about some of the diseases linked to gluten. Now, what I'm posting up on,
- [30:59]

- [30:59]
B
the screen for you here is a study published in the journal Clinical Medicine and research on the manifestations of silent celiac, predominantly extra intestinal. Now you're going to see this term, this is a new term you're going to see popping up. And we did in the last module we defined some different terms, if you remember, we defined gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity, gluten allergy and celiac disease. Well, in this module we're going to be adding a new term called silent celiac disease. So bear with me. But you can see in the study, this is a list of different conditions that are known to be manifestations, what are known as extra intestinal or symptoms outside of the intestine that we know gluten can cause in the absence of celiac disease. Okay. Hence the term silent celiac disease. I don't like that term. A lot of researchers use that term. And the reason I don't like silent celiac disease is it delineates the that a person has celiac disease when in fact they don't have celiac disease. It's not silent celiac disease. They have an extra intestinal manifestation of gluten sensitivity. And so just for clarity's sake, so you can see here autoimmune disorders. So any of you out there watching this now, if you've been diagnosed with any form of autoimmunity, you should know that gluten is the number one trigger for autoimmune disease that we know of, period, in the medical literature, in science, period, gluten, number one cause of autoimmune disease. So if you have any form of autoimmune disease, you should be ruling gluten sensitivity out immediately if you're trying to again overcome and improve your health. So you see in this case, autoimmune disease. The most common probably in terms of manifestation of gluten is hypothyroidism, particularly Hashimoto's disease. But you also see in this list dermatitis herpetiformis, which is a skin blister manifestation of celiac. You'll see disease like anemia, osteoporosis, nerve damage. And you'll see here in this example is epilepsy, cerebral calcification, neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, which makes you dizzy, and chorea, which is in coordinated muscle movements, and then infertility and subfertility, meaning you can't get pregnant or you have a hard time staying, staying pregnant. Ladies, if that's you, you should know this, that gluten sensitivity is the number one cause of unexplainable fertility issues in females. Okay, Gluten sensitivity, number one cause. So if you find yourself in this quandary where you're going to be going to the reproductive specialist to have hormones injected in you because your body is not either becoming pregnant or carrying long enough without miscarriage, you need to look at a gluten free diet. That should be a top priority. We also have non alcoholic fatty liver disease and unexplained chronic hypertransaminaseemia, which is a condition that affects the liver. So again, this is just one published study published in 2007. So this information at this point is well over a decade old. Then we have. I'm going to show you another slide. Bread madness. Bread madness. And this is A quote from Dr. Peter Green. Those of you may know who he is, those of you who don't. He's the director of the Columbia University Celiac Disease center research facility in New York. And so his direct quote, an emerging group of people with gluten sensitivity has such psychiatric and neurological disorders as schizophrenia, adhd, that's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and bipolar syndrome, and a higher rate of some antibodies. Schizophrenia used to be called bread madness, and that's true now. There are a number of reasons for that. We know that gluten itself can create antibodies in the brain that can trigger schizophrenia. And we've seen research studies that show that schizophrenics do really, really well. Many of them, not all of them, but many of them do really well going gluten free. The problem is getting a schizophrenic to agree to go gluten free. That really is where the biggest conundrum is in that community. But we also know that certain types of hallucinogenic molds could contaminate bread. One in particular called ergo, which would also cause hallucinogenic problems, creating a madness as well. So you got bread madness in more than one way. You've got the mold and the grain, but then you've also got the gluten and the bread, creating the problem. You can see here research study on gluten psychosis. Okay. Confirmation of a new clinical entity. This study published in the journal nutrients in 2015, linking non celiac gluten sensitivity. Again, non celiac gluten sensitivity to psychotic episodes. So if you've ever had the feeling like you thought you were crazy when you eat, then, you know, this could be kind of a, hopefully a wake up call for you to look at your diet a little bit more closely, particularly looking at gluten. All right, so let's dive into more of the list. Now, I'm not going to go into depth about every single one of these conditions. We would be here for weeks if we talked about every one of these in detail. But I do have a special bonus for those of you who actually have perfect purchased the complete masterclass, the Glutenology health Matrix. We're going to put links to many of these diseases in the notes for you so that if you want to get more in depth, detailed scientific information specifically about each one, you can do that. But let's dive in. Angina pectoris, otherwise known as chest pain or pressure. Now, I've seen this be the case for many men in particular who thought they were having heart attacks go to the hospital, right? They've had all their tests done in the hospital. They were cleared of a heart attack, but they still had that chest pain or chest pressure. And it was actually gluten that was contributing to the inflammation around the muscles and in the heart itself. There's another condition of the heart called pericarditis, which is inflammation around the sac of the heart. And that can happen as a result of gluten exposure. And that can also Lead to angina or pain in the chest. Anorexia. We know that again, one of the hallmark symptoms of celiac disease is anorexia, meaning weight loss and then immunoglobulinopathies. What does that mean? Immunoglobulinopathies are diseases where your body is typically under producing antibodies. Okay, so if you've heard of IgG insufficiency, some people are out there in, in the world of medicine getting intravenous immunoglobulin G or IVIG therapies for their autoimmune condition because their own bodies aren't making enough igg. And so this has actually been linked to gluten sensitivity. I've seen several people who had pre existing conditions of that nature go gluten free and do dramatically better with their low levels of antibodies. In other words, we see gluten free diet help improve, improve their body's own ability to start producing antibodies again. So immunoglobulinopathy, common antiphospholipid syndrome, anxiety. I mentioned that one earlier. Apathy, apthys, ulcers or canker sores. Now a colleague of mine did a study, it was a random study where he just polled people with gluten sensitivity and asked for their symptoms and that put them in order from greatest to least. And what he found was that canker sores or mouth ulcers were actually the number one reported symptom of gluten sensitivity or gluten exposure. And I can't tell you how often I see this where people have had canker sores their whole life, they go gluten free and they don't ever get a canker sore. Again, very, very common to see that. Now that being said, there are other causes, as I mentioned earlier, there are other causes for canker sores, the herpes virus being one of those other causes. But gluten, very, very common cause. Aortic vasculitis. So inflammation of the aortic blood vessel or valve and then arthritis, a number of different forms of arthritis. And you can see here I shared Ginger's story with you in module one. That was juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, but we've got enteropathic and psoriatic and rheumatoid and reactive spondyloarthritis. Like there's a whole laundry list, not even all of them are listed here. But that have linkage to gluten sensitivity. And you can see in this study, arrow pointing over. I'll put this on the screen for you in this study. Basically, it's possible that celiac disease may be the correct diagnosis in a patient with polyarthritis, even if the patient meets the ACR criteria for ra. What they found in this research study is that many people went on a gluten free diet with rheumatoid arthritis, but responded really well and their arthritis went into remission by going on a gluten free diet. I have seen this time and time again. As a matter of fact, part of why I wrote the book published by Simon and Schuster, no grain, no pain a couple years ago was this very reason was this correlation or this connection between arthritic conditions and gluten consumption. We've also got abdominal pain and distention, spontaneous abortion. I mentioned fertility issues earlier, Addison's disease, which is an autoimmune disease of the adrenal glands, adhd, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, alopecia, hair loss. So there's two kinds of hair loss. Predominantly there's autoimmune hair loss, which is generally referred to as alopecia. And the pictures that I'm going to put up on the screen for you are a condition known as alopecia areata, which is kind of numular patch like clumps of hair loss where you get bald, big bald patches on the scalp. And that condition is an autoimmune condition where the immune system is basically destroying hair follicles. And so this is just to show some of you maybe who struggle with this, but I've seen a number of these types of cases where somebody would come in with this, they go gluten free and then all of a sudden their hair starts growing back. So you can see this is before going gluten free, big patches of hair, big patches of pure hair loss. Now this woman in particular in this case, she was getting massive steroid injections in her scalp. And when that didn't actually do much for it didn't work. That was actually when she said, I need to find a nutritional solution for this, that you can't keep taking medicine. And so that's when we found that she was gluten sensitive. So five months after going gluten free, you can see the after pictures just below and you can see she's got about 80% of normal hair growth returning. And I should have put my updated pictures up there, but my updated pictures we actually have her full head of hair is actually present to date. She's got a, you know, full head of hair at this point. So alopecia. My point is Is that alopecia, alopecia areata, specifically the autoimmune hair loss, is a known manifestation of gluten sensitivity. And so a gluten free diet might just change that for you. So if you struggle with that, again, look into gluten as a potential trigger. And then we have anemia, iron deficiency, anemia, folate, B12, B6, vitamin C, vitamin E and copper deficiency. These are all nutritionally related anemias, meaning the vitamins or mineral deficiencies can actually lead to the anemia. Now understand that one of the reasons why so many different kinds of anemias are associated with gluten sensitivity is because one of the side effects of gluten exposure over time is malabsorption, malnutrition. And so it causes vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Is one, one of the reasons why anyone with gluten sensitivity or history of gluten sensitivity should take a solid multivitamin. Okay? If you're not doing that, you should be doing that. And it's because, you know, years and years and years of malabsorption and gastrointestinal dysfunction potentiating nutritional deficiency can set you way back. And so this is just kind of a way of looking at it as nutritional insurance to help your body maintain itself. But anemia, very, very common manifestation of gluten sensitivity. And then in addition, we've got ataxia. I mentioned that one earlier, atherosclerosis, which is the plaquing of the arterial lining. Now so many people are so like heavy focused on cholesterol as the cause of atherosclerosis, especially most cardiologists. And one of the reasons why I have two cardiologists on our board of medical advisors for gluten free society, because gluten is notorious for contributing to a number of different types of heart disease and metabolic syndrome, diabetes and other cardiovascular related conditions. So I needed some really solid experts on our board of advisors to bring that knowledge and shine a big headlight on that knowledge. So atherosclerosis, a very, very common manifestation of gluten induced inflammation on the blood vessels. And then you've got autism and learning disorders. You can see here, this research study I put on the board here on markers of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity in children with autism. You see a subset of children with autistic disorder display increased immune reactivity to gluten, the mechanism of which appears to be distinct from that in celiac disease, meaning it's not the same as what happens with celiac disease. It's a Different kind of gluten induced inflammation. And so again the mechanism is more involving the immunologic and or intestinal permeability component. Meaning as I showed you on the diagram in the last module, the leaky gut creates or contributes to the gluten penetrance into the bloodstream which then can cross into the blood brain barrier and start to create neurological problems, immunological and neurological problems of the brain leading to things like autistic spectrum. And then we have gallbladder dysfunction. Gallbladder dysfunction, Very, very common. One of the most common surgeries performed in the US today is removal of a gallbladder. And many people with gluten issues, and they don't even know they have gluten issues, have already had their gallbladder removed. And when they go and they didn't feel better like they had the surgery and they still struggled with digestive problems and then when they went to go gluten free, actually their problem started to resolve. So the surgery didn't resolve their problem. But not eating gluten, remember gluten can damage both the liver and the gallbladder. There's a lot of research, studies pointing to that I want you to be aware of. And so again, if you're kind of faced with gallbladder type symptoms, gluten free diet may be the trick, may be the thing that you need to investigate. As I mentioned earlier, dermatitis, her petiformis is a blister like lesion on the skin that represents directly a gluten sensitivity. It's actually dermatitis or pediformis is considered the celiac disease of the skin. And then we have autoimmune hepatitis P Polyglandular syndrome. Polyglandular syndrome is kind of a broad spectrum catch all term that refers to the different organs or glands in the body that produce hormones. Poly meaning more than one glandular meaning like for example your thyroid gland, your ovaries are a gland, your pituitary gland, where these different areas that are hormones are produced are being impacted by immunological response to gluten, creating hormonal dysfunction and then thyroiditis or inflammation of the thyroid, in this case hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's or Graves disease. Even hyperthyroidism has linkage to gluten sensitivity and biteau spots and blepharitis and abnormal blurry vision have been linked to gluten sensitivity. Bone pain and I see this particularly bone pain in kids and oftentimes it's misconstrued as growing Pains. I've seen a lot of kids develop bone pain and excruciating bone pain at night when they're going to sleep, cut gluten out of their diet, the bone pain goes away again. That's not to say that gluten is the only cause of bone pain, but there is a common connection there between bone pain and growing pains and gluten sensitivity fractures, premature fractures, because gluten can cause bone loss or osteoporosis. Cachexia, which is a wasting disease of the body, oftentimes referred to as in cancer patients, where they develop kind of a wasting syndrome because they've been on chemotherapy for so long and chemo destroys. Or it can destroy the gut. Remember, gluten can destroy the gut, causing that same wasting type syndrome. Bronchiectasis, Barrett's esophagitis, or inflammation into the esophagus. This is oftentimes gets blamed on a bad valve or on acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease. But Barrett's esophagitis often oftentimes an irritation of gluten proteins in the esophagus creating the problem, and oftentimes has nothing at all to do with the acid refluxing bronchialveolitis, which is an inflammation of the bronchiole in the lung, and adenocarcinoma of the intestine, which is the type of intestinal cancer. Small cell esophageal cancers, melanoma, which is skin cancer. Asthma. You see here, I put a slide up for you on Baker's asthma. Now, there's different ways that that gluten can affect people. One is the wheat component. So even though gluten. All wheat contains gluten, not all glutens are wheat. Right? So there's Baker's asthma, which is where bakers, predominantly using wheat flour, would ingest the flour as they were baking and they would develop asthma because the wheat would irritate the lining of the lung. That's acute wheat allergy. That's Baker's asthma. But then there's also asthma as an autoimmune condition. And we know it's on the rise exponentially so since the 1950s. And we know that there are gluten proteins that can trigger asthmatic response. Cardiomegaly, which is an enlargement of the heart. Cardiomyopathy, which is a breakdown of the muscle of the heart. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of forms of heart disease associated with gluten exposure. Cataracts in the eyes, celiac disease. That should be the no brainer on the list. Cerebral perfusion abnormalities. That means blood flow to the brain can be come abnormal. Chlosis, which is a chronic chapping of the lips. Chorea. We mentioned that earlier. Coagulation, meaning the blood can get too thick, the chronic inflammation can make your platelets too sticky, causing an increased risk for heart attack and stroke. And coagulation abnormalities, Most doctors like to treat that with blood thinners while telling you to avoid all greens, especially if they're using something like warfarin and coumadin because they work by blocking vitamin K. Vitamin K helps your blood clotting. Vitamin K is also very, very important. It's an essential nutrient. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease of the large intestine, as is ulcerative colitis. Both of these conditions have been highly linked to gluten exposure. We mentioned chronic constipation. We've talked about cardiovascular disease a number of times, but you know, being the fact that cardiovascular disease sits at at the number one position in the US of recognized causes of death, I think it's important to belabor this. Especially I know many of you who are watching this today are most likely women. That's not to say all of you, but most likely are women. And many of the men will wait until their limbs fall off before they'll go see a doctor. And so it's important, ladies, that you're taking this information about gluten and diet cardiovascular disease to your husbands, to your boyfriends, to your spouses and letting them know that there is a connection between gluten sensitivity because most men will pass from some form of cardiovascular disease. And so you can see here, this is a cardiovascular involvement in celiac disease published in the World Journal of Cardiology. But numbers of documents published concerning celiac disease in conjunction with cardiomyopathy, there have been 33 studies. There have also been substantial numbers of studies published on celiac disease and thrombosis, which is a clotting disorder. And then again there's 27 of those. And then cardiovascular risk 17 and then atherosclerosis 13, stroke, 12, arterial function disease, 11 and ischemic heart disease 11 studies. It's a lot of studies connecting gluten to the heart. So be aware that those conditions are can highly impact the health of the cardiovascular tree and heart. And then diarrhea, cutaneous vasculitis, which is a form of vascular inflammation, cystic fibrosis, delayed puberty, failure to thrive. And this has to do with a lack of growth and delayed puberty. We'll see females not reach puberty in time because they're malnourished, because their guts are being destroyed by gluten. Gluten, we see dementia or Alzheimer's being connected to gluten sensitivity. Lymphoma, as I mentioned earlier, Depression, dermatomyositis, diabetes, type 1. So if you've heard of type 2 diabetes, most people have heard of adult onset type 2 diabetes. But there's a form of autoimmune diabetes called type 1 diabetes, which is an insulin dependence and it's an autoimmune condition of the pancreas. And then down syndrome, dysmenorrhea, which is missed cycles. So you're missing. If you're missing your period and you don't know why, this actually could be a gluten issue. Dysgeusia, which is kind of the absence of taste. You're losing your ability to taste. Taste and smell both can go with gluten sensitivity. And one of the reasons why is zinc. Zinc is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies linked to gluten exposure. Exposure. And zinc is also responsible for your ability to taste and smell. And then again beyond those things, we can get edema, eczema, dysphagia, which is trouble swallowing. Okay, so if you, you know, if you're, if you're trying to swallow but you find that it's hard, this actually can be gluten exposure. Epilepsy. A lot of folks out there taking anti seizure medications for diagnosis of epilepsy. Gluten is a major contributing factor and cause of epileptic seizure disorders. Spontaneous nosebleeds. My son had this. It's actually one of his symptoms. My oldest son would have spontaneous nosebleeds before we found out he needed to be on a gluten free diet. Erythema, nodosum, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia. Here's a study done where they report that a person with fibromyalgia went into full remission on a gluten free diet. As we mentioned earlier. Retardation of growth, mental retardation, secondary food allergy response, meaning you'd start to develop more and more food allergies or acquired food allergies. Blood in your stool, gastric bloating, Graves disease, which I mentioned earlier. Bleeding gums. There are a lot of things that can cause bleeding gums and gluten is definitely one of them. Hair loss, heartburn, H. Pylori infection, gluten damage. And it can predispose you to h. Pylori overgrowths in your stomach. And H. Pyloris increases your risk for developing heartburn and also increases your risk for stomach cancer hives, which we talked about earlier. NAFL stands for non alcoholic fatty liver malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. And then infertility. You see these next things, I put up the slide for you. Infertility, hypogonadism, hypoglycemia, all of these are linked up to fertility issues in women. Obviously infertility. But hypogonadism and hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, high blood sugar swings can, you know, is a hallmark. Women that have pcos, polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is also another condition associated with gluten sensitivity. And the way I like to describe PCOS is it's kind of diabetes of the ovaries. Right. It's a blood sugar issue. This is why doctors prescribe the insulin, the drug that impacts insulin sensitivity called metformin, when women have pcos. And then we have hyposplenism and thrombocytopenia, which is low levels of platelets. So if you've got low platelet counts, gluten might be contributing to that. Osteoporosis, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, carotomalacia, lactose intolerance. Gluten can damage the intestinal lining, which is where some of the enzymes that are produced that help you digest lactose. So a lot of people, they're gluten sensitive. The gluten damages the stomach, then they start to become intolerant to the dairy, they develop the lactose intolerance. As I mentioned earlier, loss of smell, non Hodgkin lymphoma, early menopause, actually, I like to call it pseudo menopause because I oftentimes will see a woman, she'll claim to have gone through menopause, she'll go gluten free and then she'll get her period back. That doesn't happen with everyone, but again, it's something I have seen commonly over time over the last many decades of practice. So again, early menopause, migraine headaches, very highly related to gluten sensitivity. Multiple sclerosis, major trigger factor in gluten sensitivity. My friend Terry Wahls, if you guys know Dr. Terry Wahls, who had multiple sclerosis, and one of the ways that she reversed her disease was a gluten free diet that was probably one of the biggest components of her success. And then muscle wasting myopathy, which is muscle damage. And so you see here gluten sensitivity from gut to brain. I'm going to put this slide up. It says gluten sensitivity is a systemic autoimmune disease with diverse manifestations. The disorder is characterized by abnormal immunological responsiveness to ingested gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Keyword, they're genetically susceptible. You heard me mention in the last module when we were talking about the genetics of gluten sensitivity, and we'll go in more to detail in a future module on the genetics of gluten sensitivity, but you're going to hear that come up repetitively that gluten sensitivity occurs in genetically susceptible individuals, meaning there has to be this genetic component for there to be gluten sensitivity reactivity occurring. So again, celiac disease or gluten sensitive enteropathy is only one aspect of a range of possible manifestations of gluten sensitivity. Key word only 1. Celiac disease is only one aspect of a range of possible manifestations. Although neurological manifestations in patients with established celiac disease have been reported since 1966, it was not until 30 years later, in 1996, that in some individuals gluten sensitivity was shown to manifest solely with neurological dysfunctions. So again, going back to those concepts and why I spent so much time in the beginning teaching you the difference between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, gluten intolerance and gluten allergy. The importance of understanding those definitions lies in this. We can't make the assumption that if you don't have celiac disease, that gluten isn't hurting you. Again, as this major paper was published in the Lancet by one of the world's leading researchers on this topic, Dr. Marios Hagivasalou. And that is neurological dysfunction can be the only way gluten rears its ugly head in your body, just through nerve damage, right? Cerebellar ataxia, as I mentioned earlier, neuropathy, including small fiber neuropathy. So if you've got that diagnosis where some neurologist has said you have small fiber neuropathy and then they're putting you on gabapentin for the rest of your life, a gluten free diet might be something you want to entertain. Going down the list, obesity, osteomalacia, osteopenia, parathyroid, carcinoma, which is a type of cancer, pancreatic insufficiency or pancreas damage. Tooth decay, as I mentioned earlier, polymyositis, which is multiple areas of muscle pain and inflammation. Pms. I mentioned that one biliary cirrhosis, psoriasis, dermatitis, Sjogren's syndrome, which is dry eyes, dry mouth syndrome, and then short stature, scleroderma, steatorrhea, spina bifida. Let's back up. Steatorrhea is fat in your stool. So if you're malabsorbing fat, you'll see your stool color will be clay or tan. And so that might be a hallmark. If you're chronically seeing fat come out in your stool, that might mean your gluten sensitive or a gluten free diet can help you. Spina bifida. Now, spina bifida is a birth defect, but one of the reasons why gluten is associated with it is because gluten can cause folate deficiency. You know, there's a reason why in 1998, the government began the food fortification of folic acid. It was to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects. Neural tube defects are basically defects in babies as they're developing. And spina bifida is one of those types of neural tube defects, as is cleft palate. And so we know gluten causes or can cause folate deficiency, which can lead to the increased incidence of these conditions. Tremors, Parkinson's disease, glossitis, which is swelling of the tongue, vitiligo, which is a loss of pigmentation of areas of the skin, vomiting, vaginitis, urinary tract infections. So we'll stop there. That is not the we'll say the end all, be all list. That list for the sake of giving you a broad, overwhelming, sweeping picture of the vast nature of how gluten can impact different people in different ways. I wanted to cover that with you. But if you didn't see your condition on the list, write us, write us comment below. And if it's something that we have research on or that we can help you with, we'll certainly, certainly send that help your way. Now, these are some additional scientific resources I'm going to put up on the screen. These are a number of just studies that just validate what I've just shared with you. I didn't have time to go into every detail, the medical literature with you on all those conditions, but I think it's important to list references when we're making broad, sweeping claims like this because a lot of people are going to look at this video and they're going to say, oh, that's impossible, Dr. Osborne, there's no way that one family of proteins can create and wreak so much havoc on people. And the fact of the matter is, yes, it can. And the proof is in the pudding, scientifically, in the research, but also in clinics across the world. And we can recognize that the gluten free diet phenomena is the largest and most sustained long term diet change ever witnessed in the history of mankind. Most diet changes come and go, most diet trends come and go. Gluten has been around for longer than 30 years. It's not going anywhere. Because a gluten free diet is one of the core, one of the core fundamentals of overcoming autoimmunity. And because autoimmune disease is massively on the rise, epidemic proportions, we're not seeing the gluten free diet go away anytime soon. Okay, so many of you just watched all that and you're thinking or asking yourself, gosh, how do I know if I'm gluten sensitive? I really don't want to change my diet, but I have those conditions that you talked about and I really don't want that condition. Condition. So I would rather not have that condition. I'd rather change my diet and not have that condition than keep that condition and not change my diet. Right. And so you're maybe wondering what the best way to get gluten sensitivity identified. Remember, I've said this a number of times. Gluten sensitivity is not a disease. It's a state of genetics. Okay? And I said earlier, I mentioned this, I said, you're going to see this trend. As we go through these modules, you see all the researchers and all the science comes back to a common term which is people who reacted gluten have a genetic susceptibility. There's a genetic pattern. And that's, in my opinion, the best way to understand whether going gluten free is a smart move is to measure the genetic pattern not of celiac disease, because they're not the same thing. And so like if you're doing 23andMe and some of these other common genetic tests online that you can purchase, those tests are not, they're not determining gluten sensitivity risk. What they're determining is celiac risk. And remember, they're not the same thing. And so there's celiac risk and then there's what's known as non celiac gluten sensitivity gene patterns. And so again, these labs are not looking at those gene patterns. So question comes up, what's the best way, how can I get this looked at? How can I understand whether or not going gluten free is going to be a smart move for me to make for my health and wellness. My advice is genetic testing. Now, for those of you who have taken the time out of your busy schedules and lives to watch this and get educated, we're putting in a massive bonus for those of you because we want you to be able to access this and not break your bank account. So this is the absolute lowest cost that I've ever been able to get the lab to offer on genetic testing for gluten sensitivity. Because this is a high advanced lab. This is not like your SNP testing, which again, like some of your Ancestry 23andMe and some of those companies, those tests don't offer the same type of genetic analysis that this test does. And so again, we've got our lowest possible cost for you. You need to make sure that you use our promo code for this event. It's to going call it. The promo code is matrix after the glutenology matrix. And so you'll get again the biggest discount that we're able to offer. And we'll put a link up here for you to click on. You can go read more about genetic testing, but if you want to find out about gluten sensitivity and you want to do it at the, at the cheapest possible cost, do it now. Because this discount code, the lab is not going to let us use this forever. So do it now. Okay, so the other thing that you can do is you can take our gluten free quiz. Maybe it's not in your budget right now. We do have a quiz. It's free for you. We'll put a link under this video to take the quiz to help you to determine whether you need to suspect gluten as a potential culprit and get gluten out of your diet. Now stay with me because next we're going to have module three for you. We're going to be talking about the difference between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Very, very important. We're going to talk about why medical tests often fail to identify gluten sensitivity. So we're going to dive deep into the testing component. We're also going to be talking about how to properly test for gluten sensitivity. Now, you've heard me talk about genetics, but we're going to dive into why genetics is what you want to look into. If we're talking about gluten and why is gluten sensitivity on the rise? This is the number one question question that we get asked. You know, when my grandparents were younger, they ate gluten every day. Why do we see so much gluten sensitivity happening now. We're going to dive into the depth of that question coming up in Module three, so stay with me for the glutenology health matrix. We'll see you in the next episode.
