Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are related to over 300 signs, symptoms, associated disorders and complications.
Symptoms differ for everyone. One person might have gastrointestinal problems. Another might have a mental disorder, without any gut issues. Bones, skin, reproduction, muscles – any body system and organ can be affected.
We were the first publisher to report this in our groundbreaking book, Recognizing Celiac Disease. You can find them all listed on our Symptom Guide and our Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide, our online resource that tells you how to fix them.
When it comes to seeking a diagnosis, there is usually Read More »
Dr. Rodney Ford, pediatrician and author of The Gluten Syndrome, provides us with an excellent and easy-to-follow video that tells us how to know if we need a gluten test.
This short presentation explains which symptoms to look for and tells you the tests you need to to request to find out if gluten is making you sick.
Dr. Ford estimates up to one third of people with chronic diseases are being affected by gluten and sums up why people do not ask to be tested. “We are so used to being sick that we don’t know we’re sick.” People think they have always been this way, so they do not know to ask.
He then establishes a great litmus test to determine who should be tested – “People who are sick, tired or grumpy should be tested.”
Hundreds of symptoms in celiac disease stem from nutrient deficiencies.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to quickly and easily identify which deficiencies were causing your health problems and then find out how to fix them?
Now, you can.
We just activated a feature in the Gluten Free Works Treatment Guide that links nutrient deficiencies to the symptoms they cause.
Search for your symptom. Click the deficiency. Fix the problem AND discover any other related symptoms. Check it out!

We need your feedback!
We have over 2,000 articles on Gluten Free Works, covering everything from remedies to health tips, to recipes and diet advice. We published Recognizing Celiac Disease, the groundbreaking medical reference that introduced the world to over 300 signs, symptoms, associated disorders and complications of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
Millions of people have accessed our website Gluten Free Works over the last 15 years and benefited from our work. We reach thousands every month.
We also have many helpful courses and resources in the pipeline that we are preparing: Healthy Belly Course (how to heal your gut), NutraHealth Course (how to identify and correct nutrient deficiencies), HydroHealth Course (how to improve cellular hydration), and others.
Due to the costs of running such a large website, we can no longer provide access for free.
We would rather not be tied to advertisers so we can objectively review their products.
The alternative is to charge for access.
Here is where we need your help…
Would you rather
1. Pay to access individual article and resources?
2. Pay a monthly fee to access all the website articles, $9.99 for example, which would also give you access to premium webinars and videos and a 50% discount off other digital products like courses?
3. Would you not pay anything for this type of information or access? (It’s ok if this is the case. It just lets us know not to continue the work.)
Please comment below. Your answer really helps!
Thank you!

I LOVE Asian food.
And appetizers like dim sum and dumpling are my most missed foods since going gluten-free.
So, I was SUPER HAPPY to find Lucy Liu’s great gluten-free and dairy-free video recipes on YouTube.
Here’s my reaction her dim sum and dumpling recipes.
They look delicious and SO EASY! Watch!
Check out Lucy’s video recipes on her YouTube channel Lucy Cooking – GF & DF.
The word comorbidities is being used in the media when explaining how covid 19 impacts certain people worse than others.
Having one or more comorbidities generally leads to poorer outcomes. (This is true even without covid 19.)
This video explains what comorbidities are, why doctors might miss them and how you can identify and correct them!

Did you know you can, and should, report a reaction or injury from a packaged food that was inappropriately labeled gluten-free?
The organization in the United States that sets the criteria for what gluten-free means in the United States is the Food and Drug Administration.
According to the FDA website, “The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices; and by ensuring the safety of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.”
The FDA defines gluten as any grain or ingredient containing wheat, barley, rye or any crossbreed of these grains.
The FDA allows manufacturers to label a product gluten-free if it does not contain any of the following:
Foods that are inherently gluten-free can be labeled as such as long as they did not come in contact with foods containing greater than 20PPM of gluten. These foods would include water, fruits, eggs and other whole foods that naturally don’t contain gluten.
We here at Glutenfreeworks.com encourage you to strive for a 100% gluten-free diet where 0PPM is the goal. We also recommend avoiding oats, at least until healing has been determined by your doctor.
Any food labeled gluten-free, free of gluten, without gluten, no gluten but fails to meet the FDA’s requirements for use of these terms in considered misbranded and subject to regulatory action by the FDA.
What About Restaurants?
Restaurants gluten-free items on their menus should be consistent with the FDA’s definition.
If you think you suffered a reaction to gluten, contact your doctor.
Then do the following per the FDA website.
“If a product has unclear labeling or you believe is mislabeled as gluten-free, the FDA would like to know. Keep any food packages because they may contain important information. You may want to contact the manufacturer about the problem. Also, report the problem to the FDA in either of these ways:
Consumers and manufacturers can submit reports detailing product reactions or labeling concerns to an FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for the state where the food was purchased. You can also call FDA at 1-888-SAFEFOOD.
Consumers can submit a report using FDA’s MedWatch Online reporting form for consumers. Reports submitted to the FDA should include as much information as possible.
For more information, see Gluten-Free Labeling of Foods.”
