We know this is a huge change for a lot of people, but it's one we at Rubin Family Chiropractic really find makes a HUGE difference in our patient's lives. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is important for binding molecules together, giving breads and baked goods their doughy texture, as opposed to just crumbling. The problem is gluten is a highly inflammatory agent. As it works it's way through the digestive tract it causes it to swell, which allows more of the gluten (and other potentially harmful particles) to get into the blood stream and wreak havoc else when in the body. Even though few people have a severe allergy to gluten (known as Celiac's disease), many more have some level of sensitivity to gluten, which may not be detected by a traditional allergy test. The best way to determine if you have sensitivity is to go gluten free for a couple of weeks and see home much better you feel!
For the purpose of our 10 Weeks of Wellness challenge, however, we're just asking you to go a day without gluten. If you make it 1 day, then try another, and so on.
