Continued research into the gluten allergy phenomenon
The best way to know for certain if you're sensitive or allergic to gluten is to get tested. Unfortunately, most of us don't have access to cutting edge medical technology . . .
So here is a list of symptoms taken from the book The Grain Brain‚ written by David Perlmutter, MD. I recommend that you get this book. Dr. Perlmutter is a renowned neurologist, his research into the effects of wheat, sugar and carbohydrates on the brain is ground breaking.
