This is a condition affecting adults and children that is largely unknown in the United States.  Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and most oats(also spelt, kamut and triticale).  It is hidden in many processed fooditems.  In a person with Gluten Intolerance, eating foods containing gluten produces a potential laundry list of symptoms.  The most common indicators of Gluten Intolerance are gastrointestinal/digestive problems, migraine headaches, depression, skin issues, asthma, female infertility, autism, and anemia.

Diagnosis of Gluten Intolerance is best determined by a home stool test that is available from Enterolab.

Successful treatment of Gluten Intolerance is achieved by:

• Following a gluten free diet
• Testing periodically for vitamin/mineral absorption
• Possible dietary supplementation
