It’s the mainstay of the modern Western diet. It’s in almost everything you eat, from pasta to bread, cookies, cakes, pizza, flour tortillas, etc, etc, etc. But wheat is also one of the major problems of modern Western diet. This book Healthier Without Wheat, explains why. Written by Dr. Stephen Wagner,  a nationally recognized expert in the field of gluten intolerance, it provides not only the history of wheat consumption but also the reasons why, for millions of people, it is the root of all their digestive problems. Gluten intolerance is one of the most overlooked and frequently unrecognized of today’s medical conditions, partly because most doctors themselves don’t have a clear understanding of what it is and how to recognize it. With Healthier Without Wheat, Dr Wa...

Most large grocery stores now have sections that contain gluten-free products , the only type of food those with celiac disease can eat. Why is it this? Has there been a rise in number of people with celiac disease or is it just being recognized more? Researchers were puzzled too, so they undertook a study to find out. According to a press release issued by the Mayo Clinic: “Celiac disease has become much more common in the last 50 years, and we don’t know why,” says Joseph Murray, M.D., the Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist who led the study. “It now affects about one in a hundred people.

One source I read believed that as many as one out of thirteen people in this country have the problem but it is pretty well documented that at least 3 million people have gluten problems and more are diagnosed every day. According to Dr. Andrew Weil, true wheat allergies are rare, however he believes at least 15-20 percent of the population have wheat sensitivity. My most beloved sister was struck by its effect several years ago and it took two years or more to diagnose. It wasn’t diagnosed by a gastroenterologist, but by a friend of hers who recognized her symptoms because she also suffers from it.
